Winter Half-Way Over?

It is in my book! Meteorological/climatological winter begins on December 1st and ends on February 28th, putting mid-January at the center of the season. Another reason I think winter is half-done: our daily normal highs and lows are on the rise. Rockford's normal high and low bottom-out at 27/10 on January 10th and stay there until January 21st. Today is January 25th, and our normals have risen to 27/11 and will continue a gradual climb until we hit our warmest point in mid to late-July.

In the next seven days, however, cold and snowy weather will continue. So my cross-country skis will continue to get some good use!
