Here in Upstate New York, we've had a wierd winter. First we got a freak lake-effect snowstorm in fucking October, which is practically unheard of, and then we went on to have a super mild winter until mid February at which point we got dumped with about two feet of snow and a wind chill of twenty below (that's Fahrenheit). Now, we're not called the Snowbelt for nothing, so two feet is considered normal here, but it was kind of sudden. Then last week the temperature briefly shot up into the fifties, then froze over again.
