It’s very bad for the environment. I have an orchard and make maple syrup on my Hunterdon County farm and both have been adversely effected by the warm winter. I actually saw a honey bee yesterday.

This is what people don’t understand. They’re amped because they don’t have to shovel snow but don’t realize that the snowmelt was essential for the environment. Good knows what the Delaware river’s environment will look like in a decade as the salt water line continues to advance.

I HATE the cold (it makes everything hurt and walking a nightmare). However I am also very painfully aware of what it means for our planet.

I grew up chasing Monarch butterflies by day & fireflies at night. Now I barely see either, and it’s just an awkwardly warm winter.

Saw a bee today. My garden and flowers will certainly not be their best this Spring and Summer
