It's been a great winter, only a handful of freezing nights, little rain and plenty of sunshine.
73* today....perfect.

Ill agree with Steve-O, we havent had much of anything to call winter here in MO. Woke up to an inch of white stuff this morning but itll be gone in a day. I love the winters but this year Im glad for a weak one, at least till I get the bike shop moved from my old house to this one. Poor K8 sets under a tarp until then....grrrrr.

Its been extremely mild up here in the PNW.  Low 40's and incessant rain should be the norm.
It was 60 and sunny last Saturday.  Snowfall in the mountains is fine, so the watersheds will be good all summer.
winter isn't over, but we've hardly had any days @ or below freezing....knock on wood.

There have only been a handful of nights here since early November where the temp has not dropped below freezing. The low this morning was 17.5 F. I can't wait for our usual 2 weeks of Spring, before the temps shoot up to to 90+. ::)

It's 4500' or so. It's generally 10-20* cooler here than Phoenix. We had about an inch of snow on the ground last Saturday morning. It was warmer than it has been for the last few days today; got up to 52. It's 32 right now...

  It's cold in upstate NY, has been cold, and looks like it'll continue to be cold.
  Fortunately the Daytona 500 is on this weekend. I don't always have time to watch the rest of the season but,  the 500 has always seemed to herald the coming of spring for me.
  Don't care who wins . Just need to see that race just to know that this waste of time and effort we call winter is coming to an end.

Short answer: Not this week.

Last night was lightning and  thundersnow, but it stayed around 34 so nothing stuck. I put a rug over my windshield because it could have been an inch of ice over everything. I've seen ice accumulated on barbed wire as big around as a coke can. 

Different story just across the kansas border.  Anyone east of the 100th paralell has either got it or about to get it so get your groceries before you get snowed in.
