Usually when January arrives, it also means that the high school ski season is about to start.
Kosmo has serious doubts that's going to happen soon though.
Usually by this time, temperatures are way below freezing and there's already been plenty of snow that's fallen.
Looking out from his cave in northern Oakland County, Kosmo sees nothing but grass and no snow.
He also sees a weather forecast that calls for 45 degrees and sunny on Friday and temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees for the initial days of next week with little snow.
Yes, ski lodges can and have made snow, but that still won't do much good if temperatures hover around 40 and the sun is out for the near future.
One of the shortest high school sports seasons looks like it will get even shorter with teams having to wait until colder weather arrives.
Even at that point, they'll have to cram lots of meets and invites into a shorter amount of time.
