I might not complain either if I lived in Minnesota, but I hate mild winters.  T-shirt weather in January is an abomination.  The whole eastern part of the country has been unusually mild this winter, in contrast to the last two winters which were even colder and snowier than usual.

I like a good cold winter to kill as many bug larvae and eggs as possible.

Yes!  Die, spiders, die.  And take the ticks with ya.

I actually saw spots of moss, out in the woods of my little corner of Minnesota.  The kind of thing you see towards the end of March.

I hit 54 yesterday...I hope trees don't bud prematurely!

Today it cools to 35 and 16 tomorrow with snow showers both days, floating between 13 and 37 on the extended forecast so still pretty mild.

I got a feeling we'll get socked yet...or have an early spring and one of those summers that isn't!
