Winter - or not?

[Randi]

We haven't had much winter either, I think we've had less than 7 days with snow, but it's been pretty cold and windy, lately. We're above freezing now. For me the perfect climate is on 30-40 latitude. I'm on 57. Oh well!

I feel like someone move me a few states South, and didn't ask permission, except I think folks in Maryland have had more snow this winter than we have in Boston!

That's a really sick statement seeing that we may have had a total of 1.5" this year.

What's even worse? We're headed to New England in March to see if we can FIND snow!!

Here in NJ we are having quite a warmer winter than normal and we have had very little snow. October we had a few inches but since then only an inch to two and that's been about it. Very nice tho, I don't miss the snow and ice at all, not one little bit

You'd better be heading further North than Boston, unless things change between now and then! Except for that one storm in October, we have not even had an inch here. But if you are heading this way, we should get together!

I saw your post and had to tell you in NZ we have had NO SUMMER to speak of, we are getting few hot days now and then, but most mornings are crisp and evenings cool, i even had to put the heating on one day it was so cold,Feb is usually our hottest month ever here,we even had a fog one morning, so weird, not that it worries me, i hate summer hot weather, it is suiting me fine, but for the holiday makers and tourists, not so good, what is going on in our world?

Carole, I think that people are begining to realize that the climate IS changing... for whatever reasons. I watched a documentary yesterday about how fast the ice is melting in Greenland and how it affects the people living there - and the animals!

Sat 2.18.12 Central NC. It was 65 temp today and we are to have a little snow tomorrow night (our first this winter). This is crazy! It's to be 39 tomorrow with rain & then turning to snow Sun night & going to 28. We might get an inch (don't laugh) & then it will melt Mon when the temp goes up to 45 & to be 60 by Friday.

Nope, no real winter here in Philadelphia! It snowed twice, I believe. Once in October, but it was the slushy kind of snow. And the other time was a couple weeks ago which wasn't even a half inch and was gone by the next day. The temperatures are driving me insane! The weekdays are always nice, but then once the weekends hit...bam..cold. I go to school with a light hoodie on, then when I'm out with my friends I'm all bundled up with gloves, hats, etc.

I am NOT liking the change in the weather. I want some snow days!

No real winter here either. We had a few days where it was freezing but other than that we're wearing short sleeves.
I hope this doesn't mean we will have a bad hurricane season.

Well, winter came this time in Pakistan, happy about that! A couple of years ago, the seasons were: Hot Spring-Summer-Wet Summer-Extreme Summer......that's it...

Well, this year winters were really cold and freezing These days, the morning are cold and afternoons warm.

So, in conclusion, GOOD WINTERS FOR ME!

We had a strange winter, really... December and January were relatively warm, with no snow at all. Then, at the beginning of February, it became really cold, unusually cold with -20C - but still no snow. A week ago, there were two or three days with a little snow, but it was very watery and ugly. Not it has all melted, it's grey and rainy, and about 7°C. One of the strangest winters that I saw, and I hope it will soon be over. I'm more than ready for the spring!


Edit: ...and soon after I was typing this, the rain turned into snow. Many many fat and ugly snow flakes. Yuck!

[Vette]

We have had a very mild winter. its been snowing like gang busters the last couple of days though ><
think its making up for it

There was a tornado in far downstate Illinois yesterday. We are supposed to get rain changing to snow in the Chicago area over the weekend. I hope everyone else in the midwest is okay!

[Karen]

We are finally getting snow, but the storm is moving so slowly, it's been snowing for a day and a half now, and we barely have three inches. But at least we have some snow!

Indy has had a very unusual Winter so far. Only had to wear a coat maybe twice all season.
Yesterday was wonderful. 68 degrees and full sun all day. I turned off the furnace & opened
the windows for fresh air. I even saw convertables driving around. Today not as warm, but
still very nice. My crocus flowers have been blooming for last two weeks.
