I live about halfway between NYC and Montreal along the Hudson River. Other than one day with a trace of snow (you could still see the grass) before New Year’s, there has been no snow to speak of. On January 6, I took a pictures of all the stuff growing outside with a little sign next to them stating the date, location and temperature – a balmy 68 degrees F! 😯 We have tulips that are about 1.5 inches out of the ground and our first dandelion blooming. No cross country ski areas are open in the area and the downhill ski areas that are open have only a few trails open each. Most I can count on a single hand. This is NOT a normal winter. This little snowball is missing her snow, and they are talking about this probably being the warmest summer on record 😥
