the winter that wasn't

Last winter we got a million feet of snow. Seriously. Every time I turned around we'd get another foot. It was brutal. This winter has made up for all of last winter's pain and suffering. We got a freak snowstorm on Halloween weekend (and to be fair, the accumulation in my area lasted about 30 seconds), and another few inches in January. That's it. Sure, there have been many threats of snow but we've gotten more sunshine than anything else. I've loved every minute about it.

The thing about there not being snow is that the ground never freezes. And if the ground never freezes then the bulbs get a little seasonal confusion and start to grow in mid-February. The crocuses and daffodils around my complex are ready for spring. Me too.
