Why anyone is writing January off right now is truly unrealistic. We had such an awesome December, it's no wonder the last week and a half went to a more neutral and calm based pattern. It's a rare to have a pattern run the same way right through one month to the next month all winter long. Not saying it hasn't happened, but very rare. We just need patience people, January will have it's Sparks and moments of snow and cold. And so what about not having a white Christmas. Doesn't happen often anyway, so, it's not the end of the world. Everyone take a breath. Winter is not done, not by any means. True winter is really just starting
