It certainly has been an interesting winter up here in the Pacific Northwest (Vancouver, BC, Canada). After several years of good snowfall on the mountains, this winter, we have gone from freezing -20°C (-4°F) to highs of 15°C (59°F) atmospheric rivers (it is positively spring like when the sun peeks out).
