I know the calendar says it is January 4th, but you would never know it by walking outside. This has been the warmest start to winter that I can remember. I hope it continues for another week or two, then it can get cold. The turf went into winter in great shape and it continues to look good. It would be nice to see the temperatures get back to normal so the turf can harden off. The hardening off process is basically a shut down process. The grass plant doesn't want to grow anymore. The key to healthy turf during a mild winter is timely rains. Without the precipitation, dessication occurs and causes a slow start for the turf in the spring. So, if you wish for the mild winter to continue, then hope for precipitation along with it.
