This winter has been, how should we say it… abnormal. With ice cover on the Great Lakes being at its second highest since records were kept (91% per the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory) to the countless record temperatures shattered across the nation, it’s safe to say that these past few months had some sting to it.

So as we look ahead to a hopefully more promising spring and summer, just remember that a winter like this one probably won’t happen for some time…
