This year started with snow in my area, northern Kyushu. The cold weather has continued recent days, although it had been relatively warm in winter a few years ago. (we call it "dan-tou"（暖冬）.)
I went to "Aeon, Wakamatsu-Futajima"（イオン若松二島店） on the day to buy several foods that I brought to my mother's house. It opened at 8:30 am. A lot of people were waiting in line for its open when I arrived there at 8:20 am.
Almost all stores were closed January 1 to 3 about 20 years ago. People's life style has changed. Now, people get easily things whenever they want. But, I don't know whether this is really good.

We finally got some cold weather in Houston, but it only lasted several days. It's still pretty cool, though, and nights are quite pleasant.
That's quite a line in front Aeon. I suppose many people are glad that it was open that day, but perhaps the people working there weren't!
Jon-san,
It has still been cold in these days. But I can feel hours of sunlight get long and it gets close to spring by day after the winter solstice.
