what happened to winter?

This is the mildest winter in my recent (and pretty much total) memory. We haven't had many storms, and when we do, we usually get rain instead of snow...at least down in the valley. But even still, there hasn't been as much snow as there usually is in the mountains and the temperatures are above average. Why can't we get in on the storms that dumped on the rest of the country back in December and the one that's supposed to hit the East coast tonight? That's our snow!!

I want it to snow and snow and snow all through January and February and then let spring in around my birthday. I don't care how cold it gets, as long as there is snow to go with it. I JUST WANT SOME SNOW!
