I like cold, so this so-called winter has been a disappointment. Send me some of your snow and I'll box up some heat for you.
I live about 40 miles up the road, and about 1,000 feet higher, so this is pretty much what we've seen so far as well. But only I know the reason that this is happening.

Last Spring I was cruising the Sierra Trading Post site and spotted some snowshoes on sale for less than half regular price. I've wanted snowshoes for years, and after the huge snows we had last year and the year before, I went ahead and bought them. My wife told me that this was going to ensure that we'd never see snow again.

Some day I'll learn to listen to her...
