I just got back from downtown Roanoke — you could easily get away with a t-shirt.  It was like this last night too, and earlier this week.  This is the mildest winter I can remember.

This is the end of February, people.  I honestly wonder if we will not get snow in Roanoke this year at all.  I can remember being surprised just a few years ago that I could wear a t-shirt outside at the end of October.

It’s just so striking.
