You are daft... We know that.
Where are you, about?
NE OH, down wind of the Great Lakes (pronounced "Snow Belt"), had only one afternoon with some spitting snow while above freezing. None at night (that I know of) and the temps were plenty low enough for snow.
We also had more than normal for sunshine since the hurricane. A lot more. That's acording to memory instead of sensors and computer logging.
I can recall Trick or Treating in snow, and maybe 4~6" on Easter.
My uncle says when he was younger once it actually considerably snowed you could be fairly sure there was going to be snow on the ground until spring, and he recalls a covered hollow stump with ice in it in June!
Runs in cycles here. Last couple big cycles I recall knowing of are about 44-50, and again in the late 70s.
Maybe we are due?
Throw some white stuff on the ground and it reflects the light (as in heat). Makes sense getting a foot early in the year would make a snowier year?
(google Snowball Earth)
For you guys not in the states; The Great Lakes? The Great Lake are about twice the size of England. Being down wind of that much hot or frozen water also means our seasons are delayed. And that much 'steam' coming off that much surface area into cold air means LOTS of snow.
I am not suprised by the lack of snow so far this year.
I am very suprised by the lack of cloud cover. Overly 'sunny' here for this time of year.
