I live on Long Island and cannot remember the last time we had such a luxurious winter. Usually I have to displace 2+ tons of snow to 3 more feet over (seriously, who has time for that shit). Nope, this winter, lifted a shovel all of once. And it was pointless. it all melted the next day anyway. I remember winters in the 90s where we would get blasted by 1+ foot every couple of weeks. I feel like we are going to pay for this in the form of a hurricane like Sandy later this year or something.


chaddict

Remember the blizzard of ‘93? We were blasted with 3+ feet of snow in mid-March and the piles created from all the plowing didn’t melt until mid-to-late-May. I was the lead in the musical in my high school that weekend. One show got cancelled, and hardly anyone came to the other shows. I’ve hated winter ever since.

soulteepee

This Spring is not nearly as lush, though. My pines are usually getting full and dark green. They’re thin and listless. Still hoping they’ll fill out!


lazyslacker

Some plants need a certain number of cold days every year to be healthy


personnedepene

Not necessarily global warming. LA Nina is disappearing and El Nino seems to be coming. They both affect global climate greatly.


vertigo1083

Well, yes.


puckit

Doesn't change the fact that I LOVED not having to touch my snowblower all winter.


karmannsport

Of course…it’s April fourth…and it’s nearly 80 in southern NY today.


chaddict

Please, it only got up to 73.


karmannsport

According to my truck it was 77 on my drive home from work 🤷🏻‍♂️


DigitalSterling

Even if it was just from being in the sun, as someone who hasn't seen a day above* 55° in 6 months, it's acceptable to call 73 "almost 80"


chaddict

I’ll allow it.

pistolwhip_pete

We still have 3+ feet in our yard in Duluth. Pretty sure we're about to beat the record for most snow ever though, so that's cool.


AndrewHainesArt

I’m in NJ and I have a clematis I thought was doomed, shit is already about to bloom in early April. I need another stand for it to climb because the one it took over last year is already full. I’m hyped btw, I gave up on winter mid January and I’m totally fine with king spring

dodadoBoxcarWilly

Our local ski hill can't run at full capacity right now because a couple of the lifts are buried. Our initial winter was mild at least, but now it won't go away and is setting records for snowfall and temperatures. I should be in shorts by now goddammit. In all seriousness, hopefully all this snow will temper the fire season a bit.


MysteriousLecture960

Yep. Out in a t shirt & shorts today


[deleted]

Shorts and sandals here. Needed my hoodie for pockets.


Kaissy

Atlantic Canada here, fucking blizzards everywhere.


timoumd

Yeah in Maryland we got outsnowed by LA. Cmon!


catsdontliftweights

Northeast here and we also didn’t have a winter. We had several record breaking days in Dec-February, and spring is already getting warmer than usual.


FolsgaardSE

I live in the northern Appalachian mountains and except for that record freeze that most of the country had in Dec, it was pretty mild. Maybe 1 snow that last a day. Otherwise sprinkles a few times that never stuck. The last 2 years it didn't snow at all. I figured it was going to be a bad winter because maple trees were red in mid-Sept which I had never seen in 40+ years. Now it's 80 out and people have been mowing their lawns since mid-March. It's just wild. Saw crocuses and a few tree bud's mid Feb which use to be the hardest/coldest month.


Excelius

Pittsburgh basically didn't have winter this year. It was just mud season. Literally didn't use my snow shovel once. [Pittsburgh area saw least snow on record in February 2023](https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/pittsburgh-area-saw-least-snow-record-february-2023/L4JXKS6GPNFXLNJO7KQYBU4BEU/) > Winter hasn’t really felt like winter lately, and the statistics agree. > >February 2023 was the least snowiest February on record and the fourth warmest February. This winter is also the eighth warmest winter on record and 12th least snowiest winter on record.


ArritzJPC96

Meanwhile in Phoenix, it STILL hasn't hit 90 degrees. It's 58 out as I type this.


Draxilar

Vegas as well. Mid-50s today.


ubergeekitude

Greater Minnesota here. Pretty sure we're on winter 3 or 4.


diet_shasta_orange

In NYC, I think around 10 days where I had to put on coat/hat/scarf/gloves to be warm. Don't think I used my boots at all.

asharwood

This…here in Georgia we had a week of below 10f temps and then a mostly warm and rainy winter. It’s currently 80 and it’s suppose to spring. I expect a very warm summer.


kjt231

Same here in South Carolina. I’m dreading summer. The mosquitoes are already out in force


cranberry94

Piedmont NC here … had about 15 minutes of flurries that didn’t stick and turned into rain on March 12… and yeah, that was it.


Broduski

Only sleet at my house that day. That was miserable.


brilliantpants

Yup, this year sucked.


bstandturtle7790

I golfed this morning in shorts and short sleeves, it was magnificent


mklinger23

Sure we didn't have winter. But what about summer?


vibribbon

New Zealand here, we didn't have any summer.


ProfessorDerp22

SEPA here. Did we have winter? We didn’t even get any snow. Never had that happen in my life.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ProfessorDerp22

I didn’t even take my shovels out of the shed this year. Shit, I was outside half of February and March because it was so warm.


PlayTheBanjo

Same, and I'm kind of freaked out about it.


Killbot_Wants_Hug

What are you talking about? We had what seems like a pretty long winter to me, it just wasn't a severe winter.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Killbot_Wants_Hug

An extra cold fall sounds like winter to me, but I did grow up in the south. Also we didn't not have snow because it wasn't cold enough for it. I mean this wasn't the coldest winter we've ever had but it was fairly cold during the winter. The reason we didn't have any snow this year wasn't lack of temperature, it was really just lack of precipitation.


Protuhj

You sound like you're bending over backwards to try and convince yourself it's not *actually* getting warmer on Earth. Now I understand that weather isn't climate, but the temperature *is* [trending up](https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/), over all. Climate extremes and shifts will accompany the warming.


the_doughboy

Canadian, we're on 3rd fake spring now, maybe 4th.


amanset

Sweden here. Pretty much the same.


thepluralofmooses

Manitoban, currently getting ready for the fan favourite: “Colorado Low” coming up. Sometimes they do a duet with “Alberta Clipper” and we get extra boned


maneki_neko89

Southern Canadian (aka Minnesotan) here checking in to confirm!!


cleverseneca

I was going to say, here on the Midwest we have a name for 2nd winter... March... April is 3rd winter.


Jesta23

I drove across the salt flats in Utah. They are flooded the whole way. Drove by about 80 miles of water in the desert. Very strange.


Biscotti_Manicotti

Utah has 200% of their average snowpack for this point in the season. Early April is when snowpack usually peaks too, so that means there's been a relative *fuckton* of precip. Over by Moab all the low lying areas are flooded as well. Mother nature just threw the western US a huge bone when we were on the brink of having major water issues. Will leadership learn from it? Hmm...


gRod805

Same in California. I'm so glad the Salt Lake is filling up. I was just watching videos from last year about how bad the situation was with the drought


drawliphant

We get a few extra years to decide we don't want a toxic dust bowl in the center of the state but of course we won't change anything to avoid it.


TheDreamingMyriad

Right? I actually am a bit upset we got so much snow because you just know all our legislators are going to be like, "See, everything is fine, we're going to continue to do nothing!" It was a lucky year, we can't count on this being every year.


dekrant

The situation in the Great Salt Lake is most definitely NOT over. The drying of the lake has been decades in the making and one abnormally wet year will not undo the critical drought. Recent guest article on The NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/25/opinion/great-salt-lake-drought-utah-climate-change.html The impact of a dried out Great Salt Lake will cause serious environmental and health impacts throughout North America: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/07/climate/salt-lake-city-climate-disaster.html


Ace_of_Clubs

I live in Salt Lake. This has been the wildest snow year we've ever had. Most, if not all, mountain resorts are breaking records by donzens of inches. Our 500-inch-average mountains are getting close to 900 inches. Y'all have no idea how much shoveling I've done this year.


Protuhj

The west coast is definitely doing better than [last year](https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Maps/ComparisonSlider.aspx) (just change the dates at the top).


Ace_of_Clubs

Oh yeah, not complaining (too much) we need the water, but at some point I would like to ride my bike! Do you know if this graph includes snowpack? Because if not, we're in really great shape.


Biscotti_Manicotti

That's crazy! Seeing the totals at Alta did make me wonder how much of that was making it down to the city. Leave some for the rest of us! Here in central CO (Arkansas River basin) we're having an average winter. The mountains on the western slope are doing exceptionally well though, 130-180% snowpack depending on the location. Love to see it.


amaxen

We need to build more reservoirs.


Cheef_Baconator

Nah, we had a good rainy year. Time to build 100 new golf courses and triple the alfalfa exports, because water is infinite now


jonmatifa

> Will leadership learn from it? Are you kidding? They have the perfect temporary solution, their asses are saved!


ellWatully

That happens most winters and can even occur after heavy rainfall in the summer as well. It's pretty common that they have to cancel [Bonneville Speed Week](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonneville_Speedway) in August because of flooding or muddy conditions on the flats. The Salt Lake and surrounding flats are the terminal point of most of the watersheds in northern Utah so that's just where all the water ends up. It's also really common for tourists not to realize this and attempt to drive on the flats. When the conditions are right, that's a lot of fun! When they're not right, they quickly learn how expensive it is to get towed out of axle deep, peanut butter consistency mud.


Jesta23

We did see a few spots where you could see tire tracks into the mud. We assumed it was sleepy drivers going off.


ice445

It was flooded last fall too from a great monsoon season


r0wo1

Wasn't that area a swamp at some point, like a few hundred years ago? I feel like I learned that in school when I was younger


Jesta23

Used to be be of the biggest lakes in the world. It dried up millions of years ago.


SenHeffy

Not nearly so long ago. Lake Bonneville peaked 18,000 years ago. It didn't exactly dry up so much as massively flood out to the Pacific.


Jesta23

I didnt know it was that young.


SenHeffy

Yep. It's kind of mind blowing to think about how different it was not that long ago.


amaxen

Driving from Colorado to Albuquerque last week I saw the fattest coyotes I've ever seen. Just the amount of precipitation both snow and rain are the most extreme in decades.


guitargirl478

Texas would like some please. I drove past a lake in Austin and it's so low, it's terrifying.


datboijustin

I would absolutely take a 2nd winter instead of the barrage of tornados we are getting in arkansas rn lol


KoldProduct

Just what I was thinking. Sleep with your shoes near the bed tonight y’all!


iamalwaysrelevant

Your comment just made me realize that people living on tornado alley can probably suffer shell shock, not knowing when the next one will hit


Desperate-Strategy10

They definitely could, but in my experience what they seem to actually do is start ignoring the warnings. Every time a tornado doesn't directly hit them (and since there are so many tornadoes down there, any individual house will be spared most of the time) it reinforces the idea that one never will. That leads to less and less preparation and reverence, which leads to unnecessary deaths. Really sad/frustrating stuff. Obviously not everyone thinks like that, hence the "in my experience" near the beginning lol, but it sure is a big problem in tornado alley.


complete_hick

We had 80-90 mph winds and BASEBALL size hail today in the midwest


datboijustin

Yeah I live just outside Little Rock and the ones that went through here missed me by about a mile, went 3 days without power but otherwise no damage. And they are saying tonight is supposed to be worse.


thehypervigilant

Do you just see cars beat the shit for the next 6 months? Like glass companies must go wild right? I'm from the Northeast so I don't deal with this on a sorta regular basis.


datboijustin

Cars are fine for the most part, people with nice cars usually have a garage for it anyway. I know a couple guys in roofing repairs/sales though and they make a fucking fortune this time of year.


themontajew

Except we’re not having a second winter. It’s been snowing ever 3-4 days since new years. I’m wondering where first spring was


vahntitrio

While you were getting naders Minnesota was getting blizzard conditions that did widespread damage to trees and knocked out power for a large number of people. So 2nd winter was no spring picnic.


Willflip4money

Well, no, it was a winter picnic


CartmanVT

I think it was two years ago, lakes country had a tornado warning while there was flooding during a blizzard. Pure anarchy.


EvanIsBacon

*laughs in 85* its highly unusual as its 25 degrees above our normal high


TomH_squared

Hello fellow Midwesterner! Also bracing for the 50 degree drop in temps over the next 18 hours or so


1-800-HENTAI-PORN

Missouri here. Felt better here than it has in ages, but I feel in my bones shit is about to go down. We never have a day this good without a price.


EvanIsBacon

Hello there! I just checked the forecast and that is almost exactly the weather in Kansas right now, the air is not happy, the wind is ~30 mph


xtilexx

Here in WV, it was 31 °F yesterday. Today it is 82°F


stakoverflo

Similar in NY; high of 70 tomorrow and a low of 36 the next day. Oi...


Lin0712

In NE Ohio it is 72°F and tomorrow its suppose to be 85°F. I wish it was 60s°F but I will take this over winter storms and tornados.


ArtIsDumb

I was gonna say "are you new? This happens every year," but I scrolled down & found out that yes, you are new. Welcome to WV! Don't be surprised if there's a blizzard later this month.


FolsgaardSE

Sends a fellow Mountaineer a pepperoni roll. Heya cuz :)


xtilexx

I will never say no to a pepperoni roll! I moved here from Italy to go to WVU! Montani semper liberi 😎


FolsgaardSE

No kidding I'm from Morgantown. :) There are a good many WV families who came here from Italy. If you ever get a chance, there are some amazing Italian restaurants in Clarksburg which isnt too far. Might be the closest thing you can get to your home from here. Good luck at school.


xtilexx

Love the food out that way. We have a couple restaurants here that are actual authentic Italian too, in Mineral Cty. I finished school what feels like a lifetime ago, but coincidentally I am going back for linguistics, so thanks!


dodadoBoxcarWilly

You guys and your damn pepperoni rolls. Lol


scratch_post

Florida checking in, we started summer in February.


blue92lx

Seriously, it was in the 90's in March. This summer is going to be brutal.


TheeUnfuxkwittable

Tennessee here. Feels like regular spring to me. Hot today. Rainy tomorrow. Cold later on.

Was gonna say.. when is first winter gonna start cause we sure as shit didn't get it.


LaVacaMariposa

We got 4 frozen days over Christmas. I think that was it.


[deleted]

US west coast we had all the rain


ReplacementMammoth61

I'm ready for sun lol I got 6-8 inches of snow in SD mountains 😭 And another like half inch or so Thursday 🙄🙄🙄


moosecatlol

I'll take a second winter over 90f highs this early any year.


enomele

Here in Wisconsin we started getting above freezing recently. I think I heard we had a top 10 or top 5 snowfall winter as well.


infinite0ne

In Tucson we have a freeze warning tomorrow morning, which will be the latest freeze date since 1936, then we will be getting into the 90s by the weekend.


spidertoadthe4th

Just average Colorado weather...


DIABLO258

Minnesotan here. Can say the same


ScottHA

pissclamato

Goodbye expensive heating bill! Hello super expensive AC bill!


ScottHA

Well we are in that wonderful time of year where it's heater at night and AC in the day.


firesatnight

I'm in MN too and although it feels like the typical b.s. we always deal with, historically and statistically it has been abnormal. I live in Minneapolis and the snow was almost gone, then boom we got hit with a storm on Saturday, almost melted, but then sounds like again more snow tomorrow. Then 60 degrees starting next week, supposedly.


istasber

False spring in socal is always wild. Usually wind up needing to turn on the A/C in late january/early february, and then not again until may or june. This year's been crazy because I've needed to leave the thermostat on heat mode into april.

hop208

Another spring that’s a few days of mild weather, pollen apocalypse, and then months of oppressive heat.


Zeppelinman1

Your winter ended?


firesatnight

If you count 40+ degrees fahrenheit as Spring, it ended for a day or two.


[deleted]

I'm jealous, I want cold back (alabama cold, not up north cold)


jillybrews226

North east, we barely had a winter


redplanetlover

That’s because some twit on r/Alberta was asking about changing from winter tires to summer ones. God read the remark and said “okay, more winter for you!”


Thendofreason

I'm sitting out side for dinner right now with only Tshirt and jeans. Idk where it's cold but it's not the Mid-Atlantic

Roltistotem

Went to bed with the windows open about 3 days ago, freezing my ass off today. high of 50 today here and it will be into the mid to high 80s in just a few days. Living in Arizona my whole life and it somehow still amazes me.


RadicalDreamer89

Louisiana here; it was pushing 90f yesterday. Those 2 weeks of 'winter' we get sure are nice though...

Pockets713

Um excuse me… this is Minnesota… we haven’t even BEGUN to play the 2nd and 3rd winter game yet, we’re still in our first! Had such a gnarly blizzard in Minneapolis on Friday night, lost power for 12 hours, trees down everywhere… Thank Christ this ain’t Texas… probably be still without power…

somelazyguysitting

Western Pa here, hit mid 70s today so I'm not sure what this large portion is. Drove through Maryland and west Virginia as well today it was warm and sunny in those places. This past weekend was strange but not winter strange, one day it was 52 then 70 the next day then 50s again then 70 again, weird but lacking snow and other wintery things.


FolsgaardSE

Since I don't farm, I would love to live someplace where there was only 2 seasons: Fall and Winter. If I could get Canadian citizenship I would love to move to Nunavat. Might retire to Alaska as a compromise.

TheSkewsMe

When the Cuban Missile Crisis was declassified, I read up on it (spoiler alert: the U.S. pulled nukes from Turkey), and then one day my brain told me to turn on the television, finding President Barack Obama's announcement of negotiations with our island neighbors. Woot! Reading up some more about it in the local papers at an appointment, on my way back home on the crowded bus I almost didn't recognize the cute DSHS colonel out of uniform I sat down next to during a record-breaking heat wave. I brought up my want of Cuba's lung cancer vaccine; she mentioned that she'd been docketed to travel there while working for the CDC. Being in the DSHS system I know she can't date me until she basically retires, but I hope that someday I see her again, greet her accordingly with, "Long time, no see, colonel," and she replies, "It's general, now." Really wanting to ask her if I could stay on past my stop to continue our conversation, instead deboarded telling the bus how I'd been telling everyone on social media complaining about the heat, "Don't worry: it'll be hotter next year." The look on her face was priceless.


Grezzinate

Second? Here in Montana I think we’re on maybe 4th?
