We are shipping our product on time, hitting our targets, and business is good.

But I wonder what is happening to the seasonal businesses that rely on snow and cold weather. Obviously, they have to be hurting. So in balance, do you think the general economy is better off with the mild winter? What are you seeing?

You do realise Feb 2 was the last major snowfall we had last year?? Granted, there were some snow showers then, but nothing compared to the amounts we had pre February. This winter looks to be the opposite, even that "storm" we had a few weeks ago would've been mild at best last year.
