I get that, Crankin'. We've had some really oddball winters, too or more like very inconsistent, one to the next, and that is unusual for us. The climate change thing affect us, too. A state forester has shown that our true north woods are receding north and will eventually become more hardwoods than conifers at some point. We're also only a little north of the snow line where winters stay cold enough for snow to stay on the ground all winter. Without snow in the winter, our economy is going to take a big hit.

This winter, despite our usual sub zero cold and snow has been punctuated by a number of ice and even just rain storms and that is making a mess of our snow sports. In fact, here it is at 4 above, now, and we are forecast to get some rain next week. Just crazy.
