Exactly, now 10 inches of snow is a major news event requiring 24x7 coverage.

Just went and confirmed this is a colder than normal winter in Southern WI. December high/low averages are 33/19; this year 29/11.6. January so far with an average of 28/13 is coming in at 20.7/6.1.

I was curious whether Anchorage is experiencing a warmer than normal winter and found that with a December average of 25/14 they came in at 19.5/9.7.


Oh and if you want to figure your hometown average here's a source I used...

I don't mind the cold. I don't want to pay the heating bills....and little kids don't do well outside in it. That is all
