In all this bad weather mess, we in the Ne. panhandle have (so far) had a very mild winter; much more so than usual. I do realize that it’s only February & there is the real possibility of the rest of the winter getting much worse,and what we’ve had so far is a bit unusual. We’ll be thankful for what we’ve had so far & now we’ll just have to wait & see what is next. Maybe we will freeze all summer.
I’ve come to disbelieve most weather forecasts, but I do remember reading sometime in the fall that we were due for a very wet (snowy) winter.
