Good weather -- flying more?

We fly year-round, but many pilots around here seem to shut the hangar
door after Thanksgiving, and not open it again until Easter.

This year, with such unseasonably warm weather, I'm wondering if anyone
is seeing more GA traffic? We're not any more than a normal January
here in Iowa City -- which I find rather surprising, given the really
nice weather.

I suppose it's a habit thing: It's January, dammit, and folks just
don't expect to be flying -- so they're just NOT? Dunno -- but it's
sure been wonderful, flying in shirtsleeves in January...

What are you guys and gals seeing in your neck of the woods? Are you
taking advantage of it, and doing any (perhaps abnormal for mid-winter)
cross country flights?
