At Moosehead we had a lot more below zero days than 3 but the lack of snow killed the snowmobile season.I think we might have had 3 days of below zero temperatures this winter here at the most northeastern part of the US.
This is how I feel. Now that we have a tractor and walk behind blower of course I only use them twice.In my area of northern NH we had an average winter for snow and temps for the new normal of the last 20 years. Snow cover has been average. My wood usage is on track for an average winter. If its sticks with the "new normal" spring will be earlier by a few weeks and we may get a few storms into March.
I pretty well have assured minimal snowfall for the rest of the season as my old snowblower died and I just got a new one delviered
I think I only heard sleds once here this winter. The only ice and snow I can see anymore is in the woods where there is no sun.At Moosehead we had a lot more below zero days than 3 but the lack of snow killed the snowmobile season.
But we had one of our snowiest winters ever (52 inches of snow so far) and had record snowfall around Halloween. So of course I finally get my nice stove for this winter and it turns out to be a mild winter!
Yeah, even folks I know that are staunchly anti "global warming" are agreeing that "something" is happening.In our area, the Spring Peepers (frogs) typically signal the arrival of spring.
I've noticed I'm hearing them earlier every year - this year in early February.
I think we're past the point of "trusting science" to see what's going on.
We're not Wisconsin, but one of the biggest snows in my lifetime was Mar.30, 1983.careful what you wish for- In my time i have experienced many a doozy of snow storm through the end of April. 1970 or71 maybe 72, April 27th that was a deep one May 10, 1988 a few inches.
Statistically this may be true, but it still seemed like a dud of a winter. Some snow came very early....then melted. Then we had a handful of very small snow events until more came very late in the winter. I like snow. I'd like to see a couple feet on the ground from December through February. We just don't get that around here.
Those poor sleepy Russian bears!

While one warm winter was never a cause of concern in the past, when considered in the trend of increasingly global temperatures, I'm really hoping against all indicators that it's not a sign of worse to come.

Same here. All headed north. I have to admit, I haven’t paid enough attention to their timing in the past, but this feels early.I've seen several Canadian geese the last two weeks.
There will still be some doozies, but they are increasingly becoming anomalies rather than the norm.careful what you wish for- In my time i have experienced many a doozy of snow storm through the end of April. 1970 or71 maybe 72, April 27th that was a deep one May 10, 1988 a few inches.
