That sure was a short non-winter season. March 12 2023 to October 25 2023 or about 7.5 months without snow. The only place worse is our neighbor friends to the north in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Friends of ours just got relocated to Minot, ND. They posted snow pics yesterday on Facebook. It was 75 degrees and nice here in Pittsburgh yesterday. I hate the weather in Pittsburgh bad enough I can't even imagine living in North Dakota.
There were sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC that were closed on OCT 16th due to snow.

That's what I like about NC. I live just a couple hours from there and never would've known had it not been for Facebook, haha.

Those poor people. We are talking about moving down to Nebraska for the winter.
This is why I live in San Diego.
We never had a summer. It rained almost every weekend, this weekend is our ninth straight of wet weather. We haven't had enough sun for last year's seasonal depression to clear out and make room for this year's. I'm ready to drown myself in a puddle.

At least use rum or vodka. 
We got something like 16" of snow that shot. It actually was a longer non-winter than usual. I have seen winters up here start in early October and last until late April, so 7 months of winter and 5 months of non-winter.
The mud season never really ended up here in the NE.
Haven't seen any in Ontario yet, usually we get snow from December to April here. I'd guess we had at least an average amount of summer. But keep in mind that in terms of weather, southern Ontario is Canada's Florida 
It's a balmy 31 F in OKC this morning.
Looks like we are going straight from super high electricity bills for the AC, to high gas bills for the heat. Lovely!

Truth.

Aint that the truth!
I'm back on the coast now and it's still summer down here. It was damn near 90 this past weekend.
Come on winter. Send me some of that cold weather and snow!

I feel this so much. I never got to enjoy the few nice days we had and now we are covered in snow by Hallowe'en

What do you call the first day of sunshine after two days of rain?
Monday (old Vancouver joke)
In reply to Rons :
It's been like that all year. We've had so many rainouts that races from this year have been rescheduled into next March.

Ah, but snow melts. Mudslides, fires and earthquakes don't :)
Beautiful weather here, but that's because snow happens in the mountains. Based on the cars I saw coming down off the mesa behind us, that happened over the weekend. We saw fresh snow while coming over some of the passes on I-80 and US 6 on Saturday, but hey. Mountains.
Snowing in Minneapolis now for the first time this season but it's only supposed to be an inch or so, and it's still warm enough that it should melt in the next day or two.
Shoot, here in Phoenix it finally just dropped below 100F. It was in the mid-80s at the track today.

We were just the opposite. Down several inches for the year. It was a dust bowl all year. But fall was super short. about 3 weeks. Had snow flurries yesterday morning and this morning it was 24* with a windchill at 15.

I thought we had it bad, but we still got every event in and only had to use one rain date. Last winter we had record precipitation, and I thought maybe so this summer, but can't seem to find reliable numbers.
I look after the trails for my club and we have entire sections of trail that were unusable this year because of all the rain. I've had to cut new trails in some areas waiting for traditional sections to dry up and they still haven't. And the beginning of our season was so dry I was concerned that was going to be a problem
