Here in Eastern Washington we have zero snow. Should have several feet by now. All the local ski resorts are closed.
Its just a typical El Nino year.
I can see how that’s a problem. We can have a cold and snowy winter here, or not. This year it has been mild. One weekend some years ago I took a drive up to Wisconsin in January. There hadn’t been a flake of snow and I felt sorry for the snowmobile rental places and cross-country skiing shops.
