Winter.

Until New Year's we had spring-like weather in Philly.  Then 2016 came around and the mercury plummeted.  Finally winter storm Jonas laid roughly 20 inches of the white fluffy stuff at my doorstep.  That's almost the average amount of snowfall we get for an entire winter. 

 

Why exactly? What is snow good for?  :wacko:

In much of the world melting snow replenishes reservoirs and aquifers.  It's a very important link in the water cycle.  Wasn't California's drought last year blamed in part on insufficient snowfall in the mountains?

Yes, I was thinking more about what it's good for someone on a more personal level. Only way I'd see someone be happy about snow is if they like playing outside like a 10 year old. Otherwise, snow is just cold and wet and blocks the way for everything.

After a full week with snow, cold weather and frost, it is now really mild here in germany with 12°C. This winter is awful. Only one week with snow and frost and the rest, it was usually spring temperatures and rainy days.  :eww:

 

I mean, mild winters are not rarely here in germany (especially in western germany), but this winter is abnormal. I mean, on december, there was only one evening with frost and no snow. Instead mostly temperatures over 10°C. definitely not a nice winter.

Not a fan of winter. Hate driving in the bad weather and how cold it is.

However it hasn’t been as cold as it usually is and we’ve been mostly getting rain.

I feel like it’s always raining here.

You're not alone! It's supposed to be in the 60s for the next few days. =/ And Christmas through the new year was also ridiculously warm with a Tornado Warning popping up in the last few days of the year. Nothing is sacred anymore.

I remember when I was a kid warm weather was so rare in the winter that we actually had different wardrobes for the different seasons. Now you keep the summer wear around all year because it can get warm at any time.

I'm so happy to see someone else say that. Spring is hellish. I dread Spring with every fiber of my being.
