If this is the future of "winter" I'm hating global warming already

[A Black Falcon]

And after less than a month of actual winter, we're back to warmer-than-usual temperatures -- it's been above freezing for several days now and that looks to continue for some time to come, and with the very small amount of snow we've had since that big rainstorm weeks back, a lot of the snowpack won't survive. Poor ski season this winter... :(
