Not the prediction I was hoping for.

You may have noticed that this has been an unusually warm December.  Not tropical, mind you, after all we do live in Indiana, but still temperatures in the 40s and 50s are relatively pleasant. I appreciated this when I was pumping gas earlier this week.  However there have been two weather predictions in my 'Old Farmer's Almanac' calendar that have me concerned.  I've always felt that, after Christmas, it's fine with me if we just slide right into spring but these predictions don't bode well for the kind of spring I'm dreaming of.
On December 25 the quote was "At Christmas, meadows green (the grass does look green from my balcony), at Easter, covered with frost."
And today "Who doffs his coat on winter's day (I saw lots of people running around without coats today), will gladly put it on in May." So now you have been warned.
