January 31st—Finally!!!

On It — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 13:06:49 GMT

This has been the longest, coldest month. I am glad it is finally gone. At my age you don't wish time away, but I am glad this month is going to be history.

Glad it's over for you. I choose to use January each year to regroup and rest. I am a loner so it's a bit difficult for me to be around so many people during the holidays. January and February are the winter months here and it can get me down to see everything bare and not a lot of green. This year, I decided to change my way of thinking and have spent a lot of time enjoying the bare tree branches. I know it's important for our earth to have the cold; both peaches & strawberries like to have a freeze this time of year. Just think about how wonderful the spring will be when she finally decides to wake up and wow us.

This has been an extremely mild winter in Chicagoland.... just several bad days. It's amazing to me that it is already February.

I am thrilled to see it go. It has been so dreary here.

January was a busy month and went by quickly for me. I hate that it's over; February flies by and before you know it, it's summer. Ewwwww

It's been in the 70's here (Arizona) and there's rain coming and cooler temps Yea. As the months tick buy it's just a reminder of another hot miserable summer will be here all to soon.

Not me. I fear the heat and humidity, and if there is one thing this month is not, it is hot.

I have been thinking of the heat as well this week with sunny weather back after so much rain and icy drizzle. I noticed the sun is staying up longer this week and my first thought went to Texas and August. I did not like January while in school but I do love it as an adult. Plus I close my office on Mondays from Christmas until March 1st so well this coming to an end soon.

@Carolina925 I live in South Carolina...we've had some unusually cold days! Our property is very wooded, and I learned a long time ago to enjoy the beauty of winter-bare trees. The view from my windows is very different this time of year...and I have a much better view of the small lake we live on when the leaves are gone.

I very much dislike summer heat and humidity.

January weather has been up and down...70 degress and the next day 40 and/or rain. Crazy!!! Usually Feb. and March have been our coldest months. If we get get or ice, these are the months it occurs.

This month went by really fast to me.......It has been a mild winter so far in Southeastern Wisconsin, with the exception of a few very very cold days!!! We have had some snow, but nothing like in winters past....

I am looking forward to Spring, and I like Summer too, but dislike the really humid days!!! I don't mind Winter, unless there is a lot of snow and ice....

I don't mind the winter, not even January but I understand in many places including where I am winter does last quite awhile. Everyday we get a bit closer to Spring, we're having a chilly week here but it's supposed to be nice and sunny for most of it, so that will be nice At least I am getting to wear my winter wardrobe!

This January it's been unusually snowy and cold where I live too. It's also been incredibly stressful for me. I'll be glad when winter is behind us. Hopefully February will bring better things for all here.😊💝💕

@vermint , I've lived in SC for most of my 70+ years and never get used to our heat and humidity in the summer. Last summer with 90-100 degrees for over a month at a time almost did me in. Usually, we have some very nice livable temperatures in the summer with only a few he!! hot days sprinkled in. I hope we don't have a repeat or I'll be hibernating.

I hate January. It's endless, cold and dark. Just came back from a week in Las Vegas and I think next year we'll go earlier and stay longer!!!

That's January in Florida!

I like January. Sort of a lull before getting annuals in. Been raining for a couple weeks but back to the 50s during the day. A quiet time of year.

I can bear the cold; it's the endless dark, bleak, sunless days that sadden and depress me.

I just celebrated a birthday and couldn't wait for it to come and go

Every February 1st, I tell myself we only have so much more of this to bear. It makes it a bit easier.

Wishing you all warming sun wherever you live.
