Here we are at the end of January already!  One month gone from the New Year.  Hopefully, your resolutions are still sticking.  Meanwhile, time flies, but at least we’re all a month closer to the new Spring.  Let’s all get through the rest of the winter safely—keep your cold weather plan up to date and operating until we all welcome the new flowers.  Here’s the latest regulatory news:
