Could spring be coming?

Even though the temp is barely up to freezing, I wonder if spring is coming... The last couple of days I've noticed that the cats are lying in the sunny spots of the room rather than on the heated cat bed.

Does that mean the rays are getting stronger?* Possibly. Today (or tomorrow) is the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.

(*Yeah, yeah, the strength doesn't change. It's the angle of the rays as they hit the earth, but the end result is that the sun feels stronger. [grin])

Speaking of freezing, here's a look at the thermometer from last week:
