A bit warmer than usual here too (Northern Vermont).
We're loving it. Normally it would be -25°F about now.
Some years it gets to -45°F for weeks. Yuck.
The coldest it has gotten this year is -17°F.
We've had years before when it was warmer or colder so it really isn't that unusual.
What I really don't like is snow in July. One year in the 1990's we had snow every month of the year. Kill much of the gardens. That happened back in the mid-1800's several years in a row and people packed up and left. There used to be an entire village on our land. Now there are just cellar holes in the woods. Our old farm house is the last house left from that period. The forests took over all the rest.
