Even here it's amazing from one side of the town to the next. I'm on the north side so it can be 70 here-you drive 4 miles down to the beach and it's 52-55.
The storms did come just not cold enough-we had the big mid March windstorm here which knocked out power to some for 5 days. And a 2 day rainstorm at the end of the month. 1888 LOL-that's a good one.
Yeah it's mostly tradition for us and we had to cancel by 1/1/26 and we thought "oh it will get better" LOL it didn't. I skiied in a sweatshirt the last day there it was that warm. But the hotel said about 25% of their bookings did cancel...a truly horrific year for the businesses out there that depend on robust tourism.
