Just collected !3! high temperature records in a row here in Tidewater
-- 76F, 78F, and 76F beating the previous marks by 2 degrees each. Today it will be dropping from the low 40s (now) to the mid 20s (tonight). Hope not many plants have decided it was spring in January. Forsythia is blooming, but then it often does. Anyhow, it was a very pleasant 3 days. Yesterday I trimmed the bushes/trees that were setting off my neighbor's motion-detector spotlight every time the wind blew. As long as I was outside, also whacked off what I could get to of the photinas' latest reach for the sky. It's *nice* to have a break in the weather -- doors open and breeze blowing through.
