This winter (as of January 2012) has been very mild in southwest Missouri. But there are still those who would complain.
The worst thing about ANY winter in this area is the fluctuation of temperatures between sunrise and early afternoon. Typically you get up and it's around 25 degrees, and then goes up into the high 40s to low 50s, or even warmer. This means you wear your heavy winter coat when you leave the house (or you freeze) and you carry it over your arm later in the afternoon.
This is also the reason children lose so many coats during the winter months. They need them in the morning, but not so much in the afternoon, and so leave them wherever they took them off last.
But really, with no snow, or very little up to this date; with no cold except for the mornings, and one day last week when it didn't get above freezing, this has been a very, very mild winter. And still people complain. Perhaps they just want to make conversation.
Enjoying today and every day, regardless of weather, and with no complaints, on Day 201!
