It’s been getting warmer despite it being May
Did anyone else notice how weird this past winter was or was it just me? I was watching the news the other day and saw some interesting information.
There are parts of Europe that were so warm this past winter that they are already noticing signs of spring.
It’s felt so warm this past winter and we got little snow. I barely had to use the tractor mower to clear the driveway. It was only a few days during Christmas that we had a few inches of snow. But other than that, it’s been warmer and there’s not been any severe winter storms. Now, that seems like a good thing given how much of a hustle winter can be, but you also have to consider how important snow is. The springs in our area that supply us with water rely on the snow to keep flowing all year. Now, with little to no snow in many areas, I’m a bit worried about the future. One thing that wasn’t so bad this winter was the low heating bill. I didn’t have to worry about paying huge heating bills given how costly energy is at the moment. Sometimes I’d just light the fire on the wood stove and keep the house warm. There were several times I’d use the gas furnace to keep me warm in my home, but didn’t need to turn up the temperature. Paying lower heating bills seems like a miracle because it’s not been the case during past winters. But, I still worry about the warm winter we had and how fast spring is coming.
