Because it's so variable. We got about 4" of snow, which is the 3rd accumulation since the middle of Nov. For the last 2 or 3 years, we've had very little snow, either flurries or accumulation. No matter what, for 3 months out of the year, we have to keep in mind that we might get rain, sleet, snow, or maybe all 3, and keep our plans flexible. The temperature tomorrow is going to be 8. The temperature on Th. is going to be 60. Who wants to put up with crazy?!
Ho! Ho! Ho!

(44,738 posts)Just a trace of snow so far this year but we do need the moisture, preferably rain. Relatively mild, seasonal temperatures so far this season. I get along fine with snow and cold, but I dont have to get out in it, although I do. My nemesis is the wind. Hard on the body.

I hate the cold but I have to be in it more than I care to be because I still have a few horses.

I prefer to stick to Dec. 21st as the first day of winter.
