We had a light dusting of it a few weeks ago but it melted as soon as it hit the road. It has been very warm here. I think I used about 1/2 a bag of pellets this week and even ran the ceiling fan at night once to cool down the room.

Wow, keep it all up north. Our area lower PA has only had about a total of 2-1/2" this year which didn't stay on the ground long.

I saw this morning on the news that lower CA is going to be around 81 degrees today. Their having record highs while the east is seeing record lows...brrrr.
 
Not too much...

We have had one 17"ish storm and another 4-6" storm and that is about it. Other storms dropped 1-3 inches or a dusting (being from Maine, I don't call that snow fall). More to come on Sunday and all they are saying is a significant accumulation and at least 6 inches. We'll see.
 
A "fair" winter so far (with the exception of that pesky ice storm). Total snowfall I'm guessing in my area to be around 32".

Sometimes I ask myself (like when there is no power for almost 2 weeks... or when the temp is -20) why I don't move to a warmer climate. The voices in my head keep shouting "YOU LOVE NEW ENGLAND". Why do I listen to them... They're in my head where it's nice and warm!

15 days into this year and you have 161 inches, that's an average of over 10.5 inches a day. Glad I don't live by you.
