It's been the eighth warmest winter here on record.

A couple years ago we were in the same boat in Michigan land. Either last year or the year before we only got light dustings. It was warm enough the biker people were out on the roads and folk could light Christmas bonfires and stand outside in only light sweaters and drink beer.

All the shops who were expecting to have their ground thawers rented out to area contractors to keep building through the winter are still sitting on their shit.
