Now all we need is a bit more warmth - but I suspect we may have to endure a few more cold snaps before we can say the worst is really over.
Halo has the right idea - bask in whatever warm sunlight can be found - and stay in the house.

Have you noticed?
Those of us who don't revel in hurtling down snowpacked hills or venturing forth in the cold in search of mid-winter diversions LIVE for this moment - the day you finally really notice that the days are truly getting longer. It's more than a month since the winter solstice and we now have daylight available from around 7: a.m. until well after 6:p.m.
The darkness scatters and the light begins to break well before sunrise offering hope and cheer to the light-deprived masses. And, after the supper dishes are done, there's still a hint of light in the yard, even though the sun has set.
Now all we need is a bit more warmth - but I suspect we may have to endure a few more cold snaps before we can say the worst is really over.

Yup...been celebrating the return of the light since solstice, believe it or not. Every day we gain a little more and I chortle in glee...I don't mind the cold clear days like this, so long as the wind isn't screaming, and I need winter to help refresh my brain for new gardening season...but I do hate the lack of light.
