One year ago we were in what seemed to be the winter that would not end. Snow gathered on top of snow. Piles and drifts of snow surrounded our homes like fortress walls. Gazing out the window left one feeling trapped.
This year winter did not happen. Christmas day, which can easily and normally be -20(F) was 54(F) with rain. Temps all winter have run 20 to 30 degrees above normal...and now it seems like spring is arriving early.
According to many forecasters this has been the warmest winter recorded. El Nino is one of the culprits; and, global warming only accents the effects of El Nino. Lastly, this has been an extraordinarily dry time too...with little to no snow and little to no rain. It is a dangerous dry time and outdoor fires and strictly forbidden because of the wildfire danger.
This olde man is praying for rain...sending positive thoughts into the Universe of rainy days outside filling the lakes and rivers and turning the fields green.
