Temps in the teens for multiple days in a row. Snow and ice. Last year was a good year but think it was 2 years ago that we had the nasty one. Freezing weather before Thanksgiving. That was rare. Was going to a party a few weeks later. Cabs weren't driving. Uber not driving. So took me 30 minutes to scrape all the snow and ice off my car. Made it to the party, a few miles away, about an hour late. Only a third of the invitees were there (500 people out of 1500) due to roads and canceled flights. When I got home I couldn't get up the mild slope of my driveway. So that was an unusually bad winter. Last year was unusually warm. Ya just never know.
