Usually my state is pretty much burried in snow by now. I live in Connecticut! We should normally have a good few inches of snow at least. so far this season we have none! Zero zip nada!!! Granted ok I like not having snow because everyone drives like they don't know how to in the snow, But the snow makes the landscape pretty and I want to go snow boarding on some real deal snow!
How is it in your state? and how different is it from it normally is this year?

I'm from Michigan, where it snows AFTER Christmas usually. I live in probably the only state where people complain about snow falling, even though it is common to have it. I tell these people "MOVE TO FLORIDA!" if they don't like it. I learned to love it and adapt to it.
Right now, it has been raining more then snowing. However, it is supposed to snow right around New Years (see my statement above). I hope it snows so I can go out in a salt truck and make some money. However, I should ask if he needs a snow plow driver too.

I live in Kansas and it has been a lot warmer then usual for wintertime. Most of the days have been in the fifties, some even in the sixties. We have had one snowfall so far. It was a good one. Snowed all day and all night! That's it though.

I live in Pa and we have had nothing so far this year. It was 52 at christmas. My kids were disappointed they miss the snow. I would also like to go skying but it's still way to warm out here yet.

My best friend is from Conneticut and he wishes that you were all snowed in all the time! We live in Sunny Southern California where we only see it on the mountains that surround our valley. It hasn't snowed on the valley floor since the eighties. Long before I moved here and for that I am glad!

That's the same way where I live. I live in Ohio and usually we have some sort of snowfall by now. Instead of getting snow we've been getting rain and it's really bugging me. I really wanted snow for Christmas but once again no snow came... now I just hope we get some snow before winter is over!

We haven't really been getting any rain here. It's just been between the high 40's and high 50s everyday. We will all probably get bombarded with snow in Jan and febuary. lol then we'll be complaining that there is too much snow.

I am in Colorado and we've had way more snow than we usually do.
We've had two legitimate blizzards already, and we're waiting for another storm to come as we speak.

Nice pic of Pikes Peak ... ditto on the "blizzard as we speak" ... they say it's gonna be as bad as the last one. Guess we'll see ... stay warm ;-)

oh yes it has... yet I remeber also when I was a kid we had a good amount of snow all the time. When I was in middle school we had atleast 2 blizzards a year and really haven't had any blizzards since.

We have had unusually warm weather in general so far this winter. However, this week we have had cooler temps with a biting wind. I live in Louisiana and snow is a rarity here. When it snows, everything closes. lol
I would love an extra holiday so bring it on!

How I would love for everything to close here. But unfortantly I would still have to be at work unless the state closes.. And that is a rarity! We would have to get 12+ inches of snow for that to happen here!

you know what you are so lucky to experience snow boarding. In The Philippines (in our country) there is no snow since then. I didnt even experience wearing that thick jacket. We only have to seasons here. and i think you should not be sad. in your life, you experience a thing which we cannot experience. :( huhuhu.

I'm from Michigan, and your weather sounds very similar to what we are experiencing right now. We would normal have at least a few inches of snow by now also. It snowed quite frequently last week and the week before. If all the snow that came actually "stuck," we'd be under a few feet of it by now! It's still been cold here, but the snow is almost all melted away. It's been between 20s and 30s during the day and down into the teens at night. We've actually been having more sleet and freezing rain lately more than snow. It's so strange, isn't it? This is really different than it's been the last few years. It's mid-December, and we're all wondering if we're going to have a white Christmas this year! We didn't have a white Christmas last year. Did you? So...it's not just Connecticut that is having all of this strange weather!

I live in the snowbelt of NE Ohio (up by Lake Erie.) Usually by now we have a lot of snow, this year we had one snowstorm that was Lake effect, and then nothing since. For us in this area it has been a most unusual year. It's been up in the 40's and 50's and we've been having a lot of rain. If the rain would have been snow we would have been really dumped on, lol. I'm 57 years old and have lived in this area my whole life, this is only the second time in my life that I remember having no snow at Christmas or through December. It's almost like it's eternal fall season here. Usually by now Lake Erie is starting to freeze over, especially at the edges...none this year. In January it's usually frozen almost all the way across.
I know in Connecticut there is a lot of Maple syrup production, as there is in my area of Ohio. We are all concerned about this years syrup production because of the strange weather. While it's nice to have nice weather, most people don't think how it affects farming on all levels. (Yes, I'm a farmer:-) I'm wondering if this spring will bring crops rotting in the ground again too as they did after our mild winter last year. Global warming is truly affecting us all, and in the long run, the effects of it will bring higher prices in the food market place. Most people don't take global warming as seriously as they should, it will continue to be a problem until they figure out some viable solutions so it doesn't get worse. (Just my humble little ole opinion:-)

When I was a kid I lived in Bridgeport and went to East Side Middle. I was not far from Harding High. I loved it back then. My address was 1315 Boston Ave it was a conner apartment building. I use to love to watch the snow fall from my bedroom window.
Florida is so different. It is hot almost all year. It might get to 40 a couple of times during the year. But it is a beautiful state.
I do not know were you live in Connecticut, but if you are ever in Bridgeport can you email me a pic from the apartment building I mention if its still there.
Thanks
