Waiting for the Cold & Snow
Last year at this time, we were well into a cold and snowy pattern with most days of the month having snow. This year, obviously, is much different. Even though we're running close to what we picked up last year at this time, our snow this year has come primarily ...
Comparing This Year to Last
When thinking about last winter, many of us remember it being somewhat cold and snowy at times. But look at the image on the left. This time last year, we had almost no snow yet. But thanks to our Halloween storm this year, we're running well above average already. It ...
