Just to note, the Northwest corner of the US is quite a bit warmer for the past 10 years than it had been before. We're used to at least 2 weeks of snow, but we haven't had more than half a day of slush this winter. It's been averaging 10 celcius, which is quite warm for this time of year.... Lots of mesquitos to contend with, already.... :-\
