That is what I think too. Locally, it delayed the start of of our snowmobiling a week or two. On difference that made it feel longer is that it was pretty much the entire state. Usually you can find open trails in the NEK and higher elevations before other areas get going. Not after this grinch storm. Everywhere got whacked with that storm and combined with the lack of real cold to freeze up ponds and streams, the winter feel was skimpy for a while.
