Not rooting per se--I love snow and blizzards and cold as much, if not more than anybody. I come here to learn about the winter from the people who know waaaaay more than I do.
However, this year is different. We are looking at the prospect of our darkest winter yet(in the Northeast)due to Covid.
Cold and dry conditions are ideal for the virus
Would a warm winter be the worst for all? At least be able to go outside. Not snowed in all winter
