According to my meteorological model (WeatherUnderground), January 17th is typically the coldest day of the year in Des Moines. Today we commemorated the occasion by going swimming. That means we are now past the darkest and the coldest day of the year. Bring on Spring!
Well I learned something. Already forgot how cold it was here on the 17th (around 20) definitely not the coldest this winter. In a wk. I’ll be swimming outside too! Have fun with Ian!
