I'm relatively young (30) so I could just be a child of climate change, but in my experience growing up here it varies year to year. This is one of the warmer winters I remember, but it's about on par with a winter about 4 or 5 years ago where it was crazy warm. There was a winter when I was in high school that was about this warm as well. Again, could just be climate change, but don't be shocked if 2 winters from now you're freezing your nips off like you were last year and all the republicans come crawling out of the woodwork making jokes like "so much for global warming."

Thank you for your insight, sure the high temps have been nice but I thought we'd see nights in the negatives by now.

You'll almost definitely see lows in the negatives before the end of winter

Trump said the blizzard at Christmas time in Buffalo was proof there is no such thing as climate change. So there’s that definitive analysis of the winter so far.

Remember that winter...oh, ten or so years ago, when it was in the 60s/70s in February? That one was crazy!

It was Mid-March, and it was nearly 80 degrees. I have photos of my daughter as a young child, helping me wash my car outside in the driveway, while wearing her bathing suit.
