Sunshine and warm days...in January!?!

Perhaps its from living in Syracuse for 7 years that has me so jaded about the stretch of bleak weather that appears in the North East every winter. Or maybe its just the fact that yes, its usually really cold for 4 months here in the Hudson Valley that makes me really enjoy that it has been over 50 degrees and sunny here for the last few days. It just makes everything a bit easier to do. I am still really sick, so I am not really doing much that requires any exertion, but still, its nice to have sunshine streaming in the windows.
