January Blahs

The weather continues unseasonably mild here on the NCR.  We should top out in the upper 30s today, with snow and rain showers.  It feels more like March.  The rest of the country still has a topsy turvy weather regime.  Snow in Texas and record highs in North Dakota.  I doubt the weather has anything to do with consumption of veggies, but it certainly impacts the supply.  The recent cold in Florida has boosted the price of heat lovers such as cukes and peppers, while the similar weather out west has seemingly depressed the prices of lettuce, spinach and cauliflower.  If the veg market was a casino, most of the players would be leaving the premises minus the contents of their wallets.
