Reply #11: It's not so bad

.. another 4 years of Bush's environmental policies & we'll be able to get by in shorts & a t-shirt (that was was low-hanging fruit & I just couldn't lay off of it -- sorry!)


Actually, we've had a series of mild (snowfall-wise) winters. When I moved into my house 9 years ago, we had a monster snowfall that year. I didn't have a snow-blower & wound up shoveling (and complaining) all winter long. I bought a snowblower going into the fall after that & have hardly used it since then.

We had the stat just a couple of days ago that we had 12 inches of snowfall by the first week in Dec. last year. Our total this year? less than 1 in. Temps have been above normal as well. Daytime temps have been hovering beteween in the mid-to-high thirties for the last two weeks or so. It's very a-typical. I'm not a big skier/ice fisherman/skater, so it doesn't bother me much, although my wife does want some snowfall in time for Christmas & my kids want to know when they can go build another snowman.
