Anywhere else having a mild winter?

Can't complain in Portland, OR

Oh heck no!!! We got 2 feet last week, and another foot last night. It's a nightmare here. We have SOOOO much snow here in CT, they're having trouble finding places to put it!!! The snow piles from the plows is so high that it's obstructing car's views of oncoming traffic.

This has got to be THE worst winter I've seen in a long time!! But, since I work from home, I don't have to go out in it unless absolutely necessary. Bring it on!!!

Feh...61" and counting!

Well, I'm in California.............need I say more.

But seriously, it gets cold (at least its cold to me) at night and super foggy in the morning. But it burns off and, like today, is a beautiful out. Went for a walk at lunch and actually got HOT. The weather can stay just like this.........forever.

It hasn't been horrible here in central Pennsylvania as far as snow goes but it has been colder than normal I think. We have had snow on the ground continually since December probably but not a huge amount. My big problem is I have a full thickness tear of my right rotator cuff and shoveling and cleaning off my car are difficult at best but I am plugging along. Having surgery in May hopefully.

I'm with Donna - she is in CT and I am next door in RI. We are closing in on this being the snowiest winter EVER! That record was set in 1948, so this is quite something.

In the past, the cities would haul the snow off and dump it in the rivers. But last year, the DEM announced they can not longer do that; all the sand, salt etc is bad for the river creatures. Their instructions advise the cities to pile it in parks and parking lots.

Sight lines at intersections are just non existent at this point.

Its been absolutely gorgeous here. It has been pretty foggy in the mornings though. We did start out with a lot of rain early in the season but now its wonderful.

I have not yet finished shoveling this last storm, I am an hour north of Sandra, and we got another foot of dense, powdery snow last night into this morning. All our snowbanks are taller than me, pretty much! It gets tricky figuring out where to add more so that it doesn't just avalanche down on top of me!

We've been spared this year with only relatively small amounts of snow at a time (6" or so), but it has been quite cold. Last year is when we broke all the old record snowfall amounts, so Mother Nature has given us a break this year.......so far anyway! February is always a bad snow month for this area tho.

It's been pretty much like that here in SE Michigan too.

I'm sorry about your rotator cuff tear.. That sounds like an awful complication in this weather. I hope you are able to have the surgery in May.

Ick. We had a snow storm yesterday morning, a few hours lull, then tons more. Total here, in Glenside, 18 inches. Not counting drifts. Had to get my brother to shovel out a spot for Mz Logan. It took 4 kids 2 hours to shovel out my property. Ick. Ick. Ick.
