What Hapened to Winter?

Winter never arrived in Central Ohio.

Columbus, Ohio 2011 set the mark for the wettest year recorded. This year, 54.96 inches of rain fell in Columbus, which is 1.8 inches more than what fell in 1990, the previous Columbus record year, according to the National Weather Service.

Not only was it wet, but there were very few days with snow. At the end of November dandelions were blooming in the city.

Today the ground surface actually remained frozen, well almost frozen. Spring bulbs have pushed through the soil and are 3 inches high in some places. The trees have buds and there have been song birds in the woods for weeks.
