Its February 1st. I live on the coldest part of the planet in the winter, except this particular winter. Our average temperature for this time of year is -15 degrees celsius, although we have only had a week of cold weather and no where near what would be considered average. Today it reached a high of +4 degrees. Its kind of a blessing in disguise although rather scary at the same time. We've had hardly any snow to speak of which leaves me questioning how that will affect our farming this coming year with the lack of moisture on the ground. Taking a walk this morning after the fog I came across something that would never have existed this time of year in my past days walking this earth.
