Mild It went up to 6°C today. After a month or more of sub-zero temperatures, it is finally mild enough that I can read my pocketbook until I get to my stop. Then I can zip up my jacket, don my toque and put on my gloves as I exit the platform. Kinda slushy and wet running home, though, but I'll get over it.

Sunny I no longer get up before the crack of dawn. I could see my way down the hall this morning with the faint daylight coming in at 6:20 a.m. Can spring be far away? Still, last year the snowdrops were already poking out of the ground — no sign of them this year.
