Not surprising, this winter has been almost non-existent.

I welcome it. I'm sure tens of millions of others agree with me

Glad I live in Colorado. I enjoyed this winter, but last winter wasn't bad either, though it was less snow. I'm hoping for a non-existent summer

The States as a whole get so little wintry weather in an average winter anyway, for that place to have such a warmer-than-normal winter makes for truly pathetic conditions. It has been horrible there since November, and I'm sure tens of millions of people will agree with me , not that this point has any relevancy to the discussion at all.

This non-winter will be very memorable. The icing on the cake would be a record breaking March heatwave.

Never thought I'd agree with you. Brown grass and dead plants get very dull, I was starting to miss the lack of snow. Our short winter spell was a treat. I wish we didn't have a long period of not real winter and not real spring; warm days but night cold enough for frost preventing any plant growth, creating a very frustrating 1.5 months or so.

While I know your standards for winter are higher than mine, the US has more of a chance of getting wintry weather better than most temperate latitude places in the world.

Winter continues in my part of the world (western Oregon). We are running about 6 degrees (3.5) below average for the begining of the month. Although we are only 8 days into it, the next two weeks call for much below average temperatures and shots of rain

The upside is we already have had more sunshine than the entirety of March last year plus the first week or so of April and will get one more partially sunny day tomorrow. The rain begins on Saturday and will last through the next week.
