I usually have 3 feet of snow in the front yard by now and theres lucky to be 5 inches! Even the side roads up here are bare. Never saw a winter with such little snow.

Easy winter maybe someone is being kind to us for a reason. Just checked Canada and Siberia looks to be a mild calm temperature and winter. Just checked fronts most active weather with storms are over the oceans. No storms, no snow. We in western Pa are drying out. Great for feeding cows, mud is going away. But we need rain.
Now has anyone noticed how dark the mornings are? Cloudy, dark until going on 8 some mornings. We duck hunt and normally its light out too early but not this year. In past it was always like it not shooting time yet, birds would fly 10 minutes too early.
Same for Wyoming, 55 deg. F yesterday 55 again today, last year was snow fest and below zero for days. None of the old locals are not concerned until late Feb. or early March when the heavy Pacific storms hit.
For some reason it just seems colder to me this winter. Like to the bone cold. Could be just getting older. I did notice my dog shed way more than he ever has and his double coat seems thicker this year.
Weather articles I have seen show a big loop in the Polar vortex. Right now it is pushing storm tracks south. They claim it will shift and bring in a deep freeze in a few weeks.

Goes in about 3 year cycles here. For instance ice storms instead of snow. Or lots of snow for a few years then,nuthin for about the same.
For whatever reason(O.L.D.) ,have been tracking "nice spells" in Jan,and Feb over the last 10 years or so. Irrespective of which cycle or pattern we're in,there's gonna be a cpl weeks of breaking out the suntan lotion in these dead of winter months.

I've used half the firewood this year that I had at this point last year. Unusual for sure. But not unheard of.
We have more rain than I've ever seen. LOT'S MORE! Standing water everywhere, ponds overflowing, ground has been saturated for months; I've just never seen so much rain.
Here in the Rochester, NY area we've had a to date total 12.9". Reminds me of 2006/07 when I bought a new Ariens snowblower. Sat in the garage and used just once that winter and that was only because I wanted to run it.
We are in zone 8a and have been having a mostly normal winter so far. Two years ago we had the early blueberries blooming in January it was so warm. Hasn't happened yet this year.

Seems that this year her in the south is cooler than recently previous years. It seems more like winters when I was a kid in school... Not cold by the standards of our northern friends, but chilly for us.
I don't dislike cooler temps. It makes it easier to do outside work. If the wind isn't up, a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt is plenty for me down to about 50 if I am active. When I was working, I would often wear short sleeves most of the year. My truck was warm and it was only a few feet from truck to office and more warm. Long sleeves would be way too much once inside of I was up and moving about.

I'm in SE TX, last year we had 1 very light freeze. This year, so far, we've had 3 1 light, 2 pretty hard. Some years we have a winter that wasn't, some years hard. Weather just seems to be fickle, don't know. We do get plenty of rain, though.

Must be a Southron thing. We've had bitter cold weather for NE Arkansas. Average highs during the day 43 degrees (maybe - last weekend it struggled to get to 34 degrees) and at night low to mid 20's. We have a dual fuel furnace: propane when it gets below 40, and heat pump above that. I think the heat pump has kicked on a couple of times in the last month. Course the propane sellers are loving it! My wife keeps the temp at around 66 degrees; so I have been wearing LL Bean long handled wool undershirts, LL Bean wool guide shirts, and flannel lined jeans at home. Oh, and a heavy wool vest.

60+ F here right now, but the wind has picked-up and temperature change imminent. Friends and relatives in Louisiana have had much more snow this winter than we have! memtb

We had a warm October-November, but then 30-40” of snow in one storm right before Christmas. Then it got warm and we got 2-4” of rain and goodbye snow. January so far has been dry and a little less snow than usual, but........long range forecast says February will be very cold and very snowy. Like usual, it pretty much all evens out over the long run.
We have had more snow this season than we have had in 20 years and the snowy part is not here yet. even east Texas got several inches, west Texas had record snow, so it is snowing. In Texas the snow comes then it is gone 70 degrees today.
