Well, January here so far has been nearly entirely warm and sunny.  Or sometimes a little chilly and sunny.  We’ve only just got a thin skin of snow and before that only the occasional tepid frost.  It makes my garden pleasant to be out and about in, but I’d like a little winter, please.  Seasons are a thing I like.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years the mosaic is kind of all over the place, though at least in past years a little bit more down with the idea of some actual snow for this time of year.

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years at first seems pretty similar, except things look a bit colder further back, and mid-January 2022 is teasing me with a really pretty icy frost on the garden look that (thin snow excepted) is realistically nowhere in sight.

…This week my garden is thinking about starting to remember how to be cold…
