I don't even want any now. It's too late. I'm looking forward to spring now, not even thinking about the snowmobile anymore.
My hubby has been working around MI, MN and WI and they don't have much of any snow either, at least in the southern parts.
Sugaring season looks like a complete bust, ski revenue is way down, people making money from snowplowing and maintenance is way down, etc. I'm keeping an eye on invasives in my area again because of the lack of any cold temperatures this winter. So, the only positive to this non-winter is lower heating bill.

I was feeling the same way but was afraid that if I spoke the words it would dump on us. This is coming from a plow guy/skier/snow shoeing/winter enthuseist. Just a nice change of pace this year. I'm ready to till the garden.

Not only a low heating bill (which I'm sure means a lot to poor New Englanders) but also not having to shovel, plow, snowblow etc.

I wasn't negating the importance of a lower heating bill for others... As for the other inferred, costs I project my expenses based on "average" winter conditions. Therefore, I'm sure people have additional savings compared to last year. I know some people that have said this is the warmest winter they have ever experienced, and they are in their 70s and 80s...
Really? Glad to know someone got to ride this year.
It was nice not having to shovel much, but I'd rather have about 2 feet on the ground from mid-December to April 1st. This southern style winter we're having is just brown and depressing.
yah, you would be saving money on snow removal unless you spent 1400 bucks in November after the 2 feet of snow in October....
actually, that makes me curious: what happens if you've paid up front for a service/plow guy for the winter and then you only get 1 snow (or none)? do they roll it over to the next winter, refund, or are you out the money and they've done well for not having to do the plowing?
You're SOL and the plow guy had a profitable year. Usually people will only pay $x for each time he needs to plow your driveway. Stores and banks tend to pay by the year.
