The Simple Dollar Weekly Roundup: Snow Overload Edition

I’ll say this much: this has been the craziest winter of my adult life. Right now, as I look out my window, there’s easily two feet of snow on the ground in the back yard. The temperature hasn’t been above freezing (for more than an afternoon hour or two) for weeks, so there’s been no melting. In fact, the snow’s not even good for making snowmen - and even if it were, it’s usually been too cold to go out there and build one.

Three winters ago, there was no snow on the ground for the entire winter save a week or so. What a difference three years makes.
