Only three times have we never passed above 32 degrees anytime during the month of January in the Minneapolis area.

We were on our way to a fourth time when we hit 46 degrees on the 31st, which tied a record high for that date.

I was disappointed after going the whole month without hitting 32 degrees to have it ruined on the last day, such is life. I guess that is why it has only happened three times.

OC- Thank you for sharing your signs of Spring. It may be a while before we have those signs in Minnesota.

We're supposed to have a three day warm up this weekend, so I'm hoping all this snow will melt. I enjoyed your signs of spring pics, OC. It's going to be another month or so before we start seeing those signs. :roll: But hey! The sun has been shining, so I'm not going to complain.....too much. :lol:
