How much above normal? Can't be much. Been very cold here compared to recent years. S*** 2023 was 9° above normal. Concord had a couple torch days to start the month but since then it's been solidly below normal.
I can't complain . This weather has been perfect for me. Sustained cold, no snow and stiff winds to dry out the wood. Couldn't draw it up any better. Business is booming.
Not to defend TT but you're not going to run short on lollipops anytime soon. Rainbows either. We are approximately a third of the way through the winter.
