This was a quick winter month! I think it had something to do with the great snow early in the month. Although there were some cold days, mostly, it was normal! I've added the monthly summary from Wunderground as usual.
01/31/2009 - Windy with mild temperatures overnight. The morning has that wind continuing as a forecast front is moving through the area. Strangely, conditions are mostly sunny, and although this is described as a cold front, the temperature is rising into the low 40's again after having fallen to just around 30 at sunrise.
Morning Clouds between the Twin Trees
01/30/2009 - Today was a mixture of sun and clouds with mostly sunny conditions ending the daylight period. The horses enjoyed another blanket free day. I brushed each of them during the afternoon and they all seemed to just want to stand around in the sun and soak in the rays!
Harmony behind the Wood Gates
01/29/2009 - Mostly cloudy conditions returned today. The temperature was fairly mild with the mid 30's melting the new snow so that it pretty much blended into the existing snow pack.
Horses Gather for Morning Treats
01/28/2009 - Well, yesterday's late afternoon and evening powdering turned out to be about four inches deep! Today, color in the clouds started the day, and the sun appeared during the mid morning, lighting up the new snow. Clouds mingled with sun throughout most of the day. The late afternoon saw the clouds nearly taking over the sky for a bit of time once more. Some wind blew through though late in the evening, and blew most of the clouds away again.
