How unusual is the year? Quite warm, and rather dry, here in sunny South Dakota: a brown Christmas, and temps running in the mid to high 40s (though we have had hard freezes with days that didn't get above freezing this Fall) at least through this coming Friday.
OTOH, as unusual as this year has been, it wasn't as warm as winter appears to have been 90 years ago, as evidenced by the highlighted portion of the History column in last week's local newspaper.
Post #26: Perhaps someone could shove the article from the Hot Springs Star in front of the faces of some of these clowns. It is nice to see this scam slowly becoming known for what it really is.
It never seems to leave the 40’s around here (southern WI), but later this week we’re finally in for some teens weather.
No snow. Just a dusting so far. I’ve gotten an amazing amount of work done on my farm this fall which would’ve otherwise had to wait until spring. We’re still cutting trees! Trees that we couldn’t have gotten to had it snowed even a little so far!
Selling Christmas Trees at work this season was a breeze! We had NO snow to contend with and customers came out in droves and bought more decor than normal, as it was EASY to decorate our homes for a change without the snow and the warmer weather.
I dunno. I don’t mind having more Opossums in the yard due to Global Warming...though I know this season is just a fluke and we will pay for it DEARLY between now and spring.
Look for news stories about us having ‘The Worst Winter In History’ before it’s all said and done. *Rolleyes*
