Ted, I am not sure what's causing the problem but there has been a significant change in the weather during the past year and half. I have seen short term aberrations before........where whole seasons vary significantly from the norm but I have never seen such a period last this long where the divergence from the norm is by such a wide margin. Records are getting broken daily all over the state. Time will tell if its a permanent change in the weather. The last winter (2007/8) was relatively cold with a lot of snow coverage over the entire US. This winter also seemed on the colder side. Probably just a cycle. One is El Nino (warm) / La Nina (cold). Last blast of the last El Nino ended in 1st half of 2007, and La Nina took over afterwords, going into 2008. Another is solar cycle where the inactivity became really pronounced in Summer of 2008 and is still continuing. BTW, I walk through Central Park almost daily, and I would say that the nature is a bit late this year, but I don't think it is 2 months late like you are seeing. Joe
