JANUARY

 

A beautiful mid-January day with crystalline blue skies, nippy breeze, barely 20 degrees. A typical day this time of year in Michigan. Except this year, one very important feature is missing: snow. Usually, we have snow cover and the snow is sparkly from the temps going down into the teens. Not this year. The only snow around are those stalwart piles in parking lots from the big storm in December. This, feels like a sharply cold day in early March. Weird Winter.
