We haven't been UP here long enough to really know what is normal weather and what is not. But from what we understand, there is "always" a thaw in January.
We didn't see a single day in January even approach 30 degrees, much less get above freezing. But it's finally happened. Even our overnight low was above freezing last night, and we are in the 40's right now!
Needless to say, we will not even try to do lessons until the children get tired of sledding through the slush and playing baseball on our long-lost driveway. (There's gravel under there!)
I was talking to the nice lady at the post office (the one who knows EVERYBODY'S name and address off the top of her head- amazing!) and she said she even starts corn indoors around the end of February or by mid-March. I never knew you could do that. Of course, I do not have any growlights, but I might be able to at least set up a table under our large, south facing window in the living room. Hey, it might work.
I gotta say, this winter has seemed really long for me. It has not been easy to adjust to the climate up here, so very different from southern Alabama! Can't start thinking too much about spring yet... last year it was May before we finally saw the snow disappear...

What a delightful blog!
That would be a hard adjustment for me to make as well, being from Louisiana. I would like for the kids to have one good snow a year, but would get sick of it after awhile. I know that I would. I'm glad you have had some warmer weather, though that still sounds pretty cold to me :).
