Overall it’s certainly trending in the direction where years like this are more common, but I recently moved back here after a long absence and this sort of thing is not unheard of. The last winter season I experienced here was 07-08, and it was quite similar to this. I remember because my job had me outside a lot that winter. The first snow wasn’t until late January, and IIRC it only snowed twice that season, and neither was very big. I also remember it getting into the low 70s the first week of January.
