First Snow?

It's hard to believe that we're about to get our first real snowfall of the Winter and it's already past the midpoint of January. This doesn't include the one in October 2011! Everyone was predicting an extreme Winter this year because we had a mild Summer with maybe one week's worth of +90 degree temperatures. So far, this Winter has been very warm, with very few days below freezing. There was only one day in single digits if you count wind chill. We still have a good month and a half to go, but this Winter is extremely mild so far. Even the snow we're supposed to get late tonight is supposed to be mixed with rain. Temperatures are probably to high to result in a lot of accumulation. Maybe Winter will spill into March and April... or maybe we won't have a Winter this year!
