Abnormally Warm Weather

Well, it's seemed almost like October 2.0 around here recently.  For the past several days, it's has been 50+ degrees (sometimes around 60).  As a result, I've temporarily ditched the indoor workout schedule to take advantage of the opportunity to take long walks.  Since it is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day today, I had a three day weekend and many chances to take various routes around Lincoln.  If this is what winter was always like, people would feel far less depressed...  However, it is strange not to see any snow.  I feel like we haven't had a truly nasty winter since I was a sophomore in college.
