Mildest winter in Arkansas that I can remember. Global warming? We usually get 6 inches of snow and maybe an ice storm, but have had a couple of dustings is all. If this keeps up, I won't have to cut wood for next season. Yipppeeee!! Feel sorry for those in Colorado tho.... not!

Weird one thats for sure, my front yard faces north, yet I can still see grass through the snow. Yes I did cut it before winter! (this year).
Unless it's a wet spring could be a bad summer for farmers, not much to melt and soak the ground before summer.
Last time we had a winter like this the open burn bans were in place before the May 24 weekend! Thats not a good thing for Canadians! We like getting out and celebrating the start of the outdoor drinking season that weekend by burning and drinking everything in sight!
Only two seasons in Canada indoor drinking and outdoor drinking season! Although the season doesn't really matter as long as you have enough to drink.
Just need to drink stuff that won't freeze if you go outdoor drinking during indoor drinking season. Thats the real secret as to how we survive winter.
Keep us drunk enough and we don't care what the PM does or what the weather really is outside! Think Australia operates on the same principle, and Ireland and Scotland, strange trend!
I'm bored where's the snow!
