Winter is, you may recall, my favorite season . I love snow, and cross-country skiing is fun. So... yeah. Warmest December ever, yet again, by a wide margin. Not a flake of snow until almost the end of the month. Barely over a foot of snow total so far this winter here, with no significant storms expected soon (that giant storm today is missing Maine to the south, unfortunately), and some of that snow we did get was wiped out in a giant rainstorm (two inches of rain, or something like that!) less than a week after the first snowstorm. Yes, there is at least a little snow on the ground, but it's mid-January, and many streams still aren't fully frozen over, and snow is infrequent. Not good.
So, it was an awful December in my opinion, and while this month is better, it's still a VERY mild winter. The last two winters were very snowy, but this goes fully in the opposite direction, and with how fast global warming is going we'll probably be seeing more of this... it's sad to think about. :(
