I think it has been a descent January.
Nice and cold. A few snow events (a little paltry) but my lawn has had some snow on it for most of month without the hassle of widespread deep snow cover
Much better than some past winters of constant warmth
Like other posters mentioned, I also dont get the torch/snow lovers.
There is so much more to winter than a day of snow: skiing, skating, clean air with great visibility, the crisp morning air, stepping out of a hot bar to smoke a cigarette in the cold with friends.
In an increasingly hot and humid climate, it is a nice reprieve. Enjoy it.
Up to 11F In terms of extremes, I will take this over 100F anyday
