We are lucky if we get 8 inches a year. At 93 inches, surely I would have washed away in a flood. Our soil does not absorb water so well!!

It's just cold here. 17 deg this AM. And no snow on the ground and no snow in the forecast. This is the driest winter we've seen here!

Crazy weather around here only 4 degrees a few days ago and 58 today feels like a nice spring day.

We did have major flooding on more than 1 occasion this past year .

I believe we are due for a milder winter this year and a drier spring and summer.

No snow here at all yet. It was 66º day before yesterday.

No snow here. You'd have to measure the frost if you measured anything. Warm here too. We will be in sad shape this summer, won't we?

Just a dusting then rain mid week

Freshened that chicken up. Yep!!! No Snow!!!

We got about an inch last night! Yea!

From weather.com, crazy things people do for snow.

They are probably doing that down the road from me the 2 ski slops are getting no snow and temps are not helping with making snow. They could not open for the holiday season. Big trouble for a small community that needs the tourist.

F Y I My Witchazel is starting to bloom. Oddest weather we are haveing.

Here is my Which Hazel in full bloom. The smell is wonderful. Took the time to clean the bed up and cut the helleborus leaves of. The flowers are starting!!

So does that mean this is going to be a short winter for everyone. Or does it always bloom this early?

Sure does, Alan. Winter hasn't even really started yet in Ohio. It should have arrived about a month ago. We've had a few isolated cold days and nights, but nothing lasting. It was 53° here today, warm and sunny. Norm is 37°.

Spring bulbs are popping up here.

I dont know how to interpret the "LongRange" forecast but its my thought there wont be much of a temp change when spring comes. Our days are like April now,nights are really cold tho.

Finally winter. We are due for 2-4 inchestoday.

We got a dusting of snow, but it's c-c-cold! 16° this morning. Another chance of a little snow over the weekend, an inch or two, but back to 47° by Monday. This is my kind of winter- a few cold days, maybe a little snow, then back to warmer weather. The past couple of winters have not been kind to us- sustained, frigid temps while buried in feet of snow and ice for months at a time. We really were due for a break.

Jo Ann, you can get long range weather forecast maps on weather.com. Lots easier to understand than those NOAA forecasts.

Last winter it started snowing on Nov 28 and didnt stop until march.Temps in Jan and Feb were single digits. We are due for a milder winter.

Its blowing here and temps falling to 6* by tonight.

The witch hazel is about three weeks early. It has been frezzing here for about three days. That should slow things down.
