The sun is shining, the birds are singing, you can notice that it is lighter later, and if you are an early riser it is getting lighter earlier.

The motto of New England — "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute" — really lived up to its image.

It is the end of January and this weekend I was out and about with just a sweater on and no jacket hat or gloves.

We are lucky the weather has been warm but some sun to go along with it would be nice.

Well, I finally saw my first snow fall of the year and now I am satisfied.

I have yet to see snow and it is the middle of January.

I am spending the holidays with my family in Swansea and there was not one flake of snow.

It is seasonally cold, we have had rain and wind, and I am still waiting for the snow.

I saw a few snowflakes on Saturday and even though there was no accumulation, it finally felt like December.

It is now December and I am asking for some snow for Christmas.
