I'm almost hesitant to say anything -- don't want to take a chance on spoiling the unseasonably mild winter we've been having (a bit closer to the Seacoast in NH from where Animaterra is). Temperatures are way above normal, and minimal snowfall. We did just come out of a couple weeks of rainish-snowishness with no real accumulation, just annoyance factor. Especially during the commute. Like being nibbled to death by ducks.Linn
