Where did winter go?

Shortly after Christmas, it started getting warmer... what snow we did get, as I mentioned in my previous post didn't last long. Outside of a few chunks of hardened snowpiles, the snow is pretty much all gone!

Today temperatures rose to 10ºC, outside of a little freezing rain to make things slippery, one barely needed gloves. After 12 years of living in the near arctic winters of Winnipeg, this is surely a big change for me! No snow in January?! Now that's something that's amazing in my experiences.
