Day 106: Warmer weather amidst the cold of winter

Hi again,
Well today I knew what I am thankful for but I have been trying to figure out how to phrase the title. I hope I did ok. What I am thankful for is the warmer weather to give us some relief from the cold weather that winter brings. We have been on somewhat of a rollercoaster this past month in terms of temperature but that is not uncommon here either. The past few days have been about -40 celcius which is cold and it's called winter. lol But of course it isn't always that cold when the temperature dips. Today it started warming up again and got up to +1!!! We are expected to stay on the plus side for highs for the next few days I believe and then we start to take a bit of a plunge again. It can be hard to take with all the ups and downs of the weather but it can also be nice because it isn't just constantly cold with no breaks. Also getting above freezing means the snow gets sticky and sticky snow brings out the kid in me. lol Also it is so nice because we are able to get outside without worry of getting cold and can enjoy the warmth of the sun and do activities outside. It gets hard to be cooped up inside! Also it seems people's moods improve when the temperature rises which is true anywhere I think. I also enjoy these warmer days because the snow shrinks some and the roads clear off and driving seems almost possible again. lol So today I got to go outside and enjoy the warmer weather and then tonight it was still feeling warm (even though it's apparently -8 already) so I went for a walk and looked at the stars. It's a very clear night tonight so the stars are so pretty! Anyways this is why I am thankful for warmer weather during winter!
