It wound up in Duluth

"Duluth International Airport has recorded more than 116 inches of snow this season — more than 40 inches above normal."

Not here. The snow.

Now it can be said. We had an exceptionally easy winter, weatherly speaking, hereabouts. I can remember only one day — one — of seriously icy conditions on sidewalks and streets. The driveway got plowed only twice, and once wasn't really necessary (the other was a disaster — for the driveway, not the snow). We had temps in the mid-40s in January — I wore my heavy down jacket only once, and that was because of the wind, not the temperature.

But somehow a winter in this part of the country without snow is even more drab than a winter with it. So, bring on spring. And a little color, please.
