Argy and I travelled to Bar Harbor on Saturday to visit out son Noah who is a junior at the College of the Atlantic. As part of the trip we spent a couple of hours snowshoeing in the National Park. The weather was perfect; cold but not too cold and clear as a bell. There was plenty of snow that was crusted over from the rain at the end of last weeks storm and about a half an inch of new snow that fell early that morning.  

This from today’s Associate Press reports.

CARIBOU, Maine—Even by Maine's standards, January was cold and snowy.

Today was the day that you could feel the weather turn a corner. The days are already an hour longer and in fact I took a walk in the evening light after finishing for the day. I always say that January 21^st is the day that we turn the corner and in fact I heard a chickadee sing that morning. But this year the change was obvious a week later on the 29^th.
