“One kind word can warm three winter months.” – Japanese Proverb
JANUARY THAW
January Thaw is the term applied to the climatic phenomenon of unseasonably warm weather or rise in temperature in mid-January of North American winters. You could call it winter’s equivalent of autumn’s Indian Summer.
This “thaw” can last a few days or a few weeks and while it is not an official weather term, it is described as a “singularity”, meaning it happens more regularly than chance would allow.
