Terry, Pat, and others: this has been the mildest winter on record! It was very strange to keep hearing about snow all around us. The winds just kept coming in from the bay, warming things up, and we got tons of rain all winter. Believe me, we are ALL surprised at how little snow we got this year. I keep waiting to hear about the huge CREDIT we will have in the city budget because they only had the snow plows out twice- for sanding and salting, not for plowing. We "should" have saved a ton of money this year, he he.
