Yea, where I am we've gotten almost no snow and aside from a week of -40 it's been hovering right around freezing, so everything just gets nice and icy. I love walking when it's snowing so I made a conscious decision to go for a walk when it was snowing because I don't know when I'll get the chance again. It's February and I can't see any snow aside from a few patches clinging to the north sides of buildings.

Summer is going to be an unprecedented fire season that makes last year look like a backyard campfire. That cold snap without a nice think snow layer is bound to have killed a bunch of trees and the dry, hot summer is going to turn entire forests into kindling.

I'm hoping the one coldsnap where I live is enough to knock back the pine beetles for a bit. Having 100 degree temperature changes over the course of maybe 2 weeks does not make me feel good.
