It's noticeably lighter later into the evenings now.
It has been warm enough the last 2 days that I didn't have to bike in snow pants, just in an extra layer of wool leggings and rain pants. And this morning, I wore a lighter-weight wool hat and mittens without liner gloves inside.
These are small changes, but the snow pants --> rain pants especially has a big impact, because the snow pants definitely hamper my mobility while I'm biking to the point where biking becomes that much slower and more unpleasant.
There are still some cold days ahead, and I'm sure there will be more sloppy days ahead, too.
And after all, tomorrow is Winter Bike to Work Day.
But it won't last forever.
I do need to start some tomato seeds soon.
