Yes, that is what worries me. A day or two above normal is one thing, but a week and more when the lows are quite a bit higher than the normal highs is just too strange! Especially when it comes this early. <br />

Here in eastern Nebraska we had such an abnormal winter. I only recall one cold snap. It only lasted for a few days and I think the coldest it got was -8 or maybe -10 F for a low. We had only two snowstorms that I would have called measurable (12 inches each) and a few light dustings that I wouldn't have bothered to measure. I remember a few winters which were really warm, but I am surprised that this one wasn't ranked higher (as in warmer) than it was. Maybe it will be now with these recent days of warmth included, still have a few days left of official winter and it is supposed to stay this warm. <br />

Tron, you're right about the bugs! That is one bad thing about a really soft winter. There is less "winter kill" of the nasty little "no-see-ums" and they come out to haunt us in the spring and summer!<br />
