| What a mild winter so far, any old timers seen it warm up so early? |

According to CNN, it's only happened 3 times since 1948. We made the front page news feed…must be a slow day for news!

| 14 years or so ago I remember grass lawns for Christmas in the Anchorage area. I remember lots of snow when I was younger than that and a period of time(a few years) with rainy patches in that era(over the course of a couple years. As time grew closer to now, I remember less melts and a more solid snowy winter. Maybe we are in another cycle? I am <30 |

I hear ya, Bros. We here in the Great Lakes area just got our first taste of Winter. 45 mph winds, 8*F, and a few inches of the white stuff. Me, at 70, I prefer the "warmer" winters, tho I've lived thru some -20*F winter stretches here on Lake Erie's shores. Heck, a few days ago I was out in my T-shirt chopping firewood, crawled under the p/u to change the oil, and cleaned out gutters on my house--it was 55*F. Weird Winter this. |
