Mild

That's the word you would use to describe winter-time 'round these parts. Mild. Barely any snow after an apocalyptic storm in October. Temps in the 50's, even hitting 60 or so in late February. It's been pretty sweet.

It has also undoubtedly saved many municipalities major dough as well with no snow removal and OT required.

The only downer has been the news of gas prices. This AM I heard one of the cheerful people on TV tell me that a gallon of the unleaded will cost around $5 by Memorial Day. Awesome. I guess the oil companies posting record profits in the BILLIONS (with a B) doesn't equate to some type of fix.

I may have to bike to work this summer!. Not a bad idea a couple of days a week.
