Mid-winter blues

On the calendar, the mid-point of the winter season occurs early in the month of February. Ground Hog Day on the second of the month is a well known marker for the middle of winter. Apparently the German immigrants carried that tradition with them when they settled here in the states.

During the short month of February, the sun is rising in the skies and days are growing longer. This helps ease the spirits and begin to raise the temperatures. Average temperatures everywhere rise from January's frigid levels, by as much as 7 to 9 degrees in the northern states.
