That kind of a warm-up in the daytime hours is not something I really thought of as happening where you are-here, it happens all the time-perfectly normal-but it isn’t something I’d have connected with a northern winter-and I can’t imagine not going for a walk outside since fall because of cold/snow...
Daytime warming is completely normal. Sometimes it’s only up to the 20s or 30, but it’s still a thing. Especially if it’s not cloudy.
The weird thing with winter up here is when you have nighttime warming. A different front blows in and suddenly it’s warmer in the morning than it was when you went to bed!
The counter to that is the days where there is essentially no high temperature. The high is right after midnight and it falls all day.
This is very spring-like, of course, to get up into the 60s. It’s like an April or May day. The average high for this date is 47.
