We had a few weeks with days of very mild temperatures and it was weird. The last Sunday of 2024 our high was 60 degrees! But this first week of the new year has brought more seasonal weather and we've had snow a few times including today.
We've gotten about an inch and a half so far. It's pretty and cold. We are in the zone for up to 5 inches, but it will likely be less. Sarah and Tim both had work cancelled for today. I love to sit and watch it snow.
We were supposed to be getting our new windows and siding starting today. Hopefully, they'll be able to start tomorrow.
Also the election should be certified in DC this afternoon! Very exciting! Now to get to noon on January 20th!
So how has your winter been so far? It's only been a few weeks since the solstice but meteorologists count winter December, January, and February. By that reckoning we are in the middle of winter. Our Christmas tree is still up and I think I may take it down tomorrow, as today is Epiphany.
I will leave my garlands and lights up until the end of January. It's cheering and delightful to have them on during this dark month.
What about you? Have you taken your Christmas decor down?

We had our last holiday gathering over the weekend, and Bekah returned from a trip with the young adults from church, so a snow day was all that I needed to inspire me to take down the Christmas decor. Today I need to finish up a few things and clean the house, but I'm not in a terrible hurry.
I hope your project gets started today . . . or soon! I always get excited about home improvements!
Enjoy the snow outside and your cozy lights inside!
