End of January?

Was yesterday REALLY the end of January? We are not used to having such nice weather this time of year. Just a year ago we were bracing for a bad winter storm! But take a look at how nice it was on the LAST DAY OF JANUARY!
We stepped out to take a quick picture. We didn't even need our coats!
