Maybe they’re all like this, but the winter of 2014-2015
seems especially odd. In Minnesota, a frigid November gave way to a most mild
December. And January’s been a mixed helping as well, though a warm bias has
been the prevailing characteristic. However, one constant has been the lack of
significant snow and the lack of consistently stellar, recreational-friendly
snow cover.
As meteorological winter entered it’s final third, snow
lovers were looking far and wide for signs of the precipitation type they live
for. Others were thrilled at the prospect of a winter that, while still
challenging by most state’s standards, was proceeding in a tolerable fashion.
(And then there was your fearless host, who wonders if
California will ever again see rain.)
Enjoy the hunt for a white February!
