It's been a mild winter here in New York's lower Hudson Valley - until this weekend, that is. We got down to 8 degrees last night, and only got into the mid teens this afternoon. And we haven't had a bit of snow since that freak storm we had back in October, when we got 8 inches of accumulation much too early in the season. As a transplanted Southerner who has never gotten used to New York's winters, I'm all for global warming!!!
