Well, the weather outside...

It’s 63º out.

One of the beautiful things about living here in KC is the occasional fantastic day in the middle of the winter. It’s wonderful.

Having spent part of the holiday season in northern Minnesota, I really freaking love it that much more.

Being a numbers dork, I looked up a couple things.

For January 2009, here is where Kansas City’s official highs have landed thus far:

60s – 1
50s – 3
40s – 6
30s – 7
20s – 4
Less than 20 – 1

I’ll take it. And yes, on only one day did we fail to reach 20º.

For comparison’s sake, here’s what Duluth, MN has experienced:

20s – 8
10s – 9
Single Digits - 3
Negative Single Digits - 2

Today has been the warmest day of the month. They hit 27º.

Thank you, but NO.
