    I noticed a few nights ago and commented to my wife that it was 5:30 and still light outdoors. Then last night at 6:00 we could see good. However, with snow on the ground and then that bright moon, you could see well outdoors all night long!

    Grandpa always used to say, "As the days grow longer, the cold grows stronger." Right on!

    My son said the same thing the other day. Except we are much further east of you but in the same time zone so it's more like still twilight at 5:15. Definitely gaining some light back every day. I bet it is much more noticeable in the land of bogydave

    Right where I want to be.
    Sure have Dennis.
    It's a sure sign that spring is right around the corner.
    Another 2.5 months and we should start seeing some relief from this cold, although I remember last year in mid-March when I put in the 30 that we had some pretty cold temps.

    I was talking to Colorado today on the phone and they also said how nice it is to get off of work and be able to walk to the car in the daylight.

    I think our coldest day last year was indeed, in March. The normal coldest day is Jan. 20th.
