Warm winter

Today was such a warm beautiful day! We spent about 6 hours outside today with only our light sweaters on. Some at the zoo and then at the park. I even woke mason up early from his nap to go play outside. When we got home from the zoo I checked the weather and it was 67 degrees! This is crazy for January in Iowa.
The first winter we were here was the worst winter in Iowa in a hundred years. We had weeks and weeks of negative degree weather. Terrible ice storms, tons of snow, and a couple of blizzards that left us literally snowed in. They couldn't plow the apartment complex for a couple of days and most of the cars were buried anyway.
They are saying that this may be the warmest winter Iowa has seen.
Kind of crazy to be here to experience both the extremes!
