Ours is abnormally warm too. Been wearing shorts all week. Last Saturday I took my jeans off and just went with underwear & scratch pants at training cause it was too hot

Ironically, last year was one of the harshest winters we've had. Killed a lot of plants in my yard

The last 3 or 4 have been pretty cold here. I figured we were due for a warm one.

I had high hopes we'd have ice out by the end of the month, but we're getting as cold snap now so it's looking like no open water fishing for February...which would have been a first for me.

From what i've been told its been unusually warm here in southern maryland as well and not as rainy as normal. Hoping next winter is more wintery lol.

Watch as we have one of the coldest summers in awhile.

This has been an awesome winter. I have so far spent $1100 in propane, and I hope it will last into March. If it was a normal winter, I expect I would have spent twice that by now.

And the colder the better, in summer. I like sleeping with blankets, and I would rather have the windows open than the room air conditioners on.

I'm crossing my fingers for even warmer weather here! -15C(5F) isn't cold, but it's still unpleasant. This weekend is supposed to be around -25C(-13F). Yucky.

I agree 100%

I love having my windows open. My propane bill has also been low so far. Great.

It did snow a little here yesterday morning. Cold all day.
