The States as a whole get so little wintry weather in an average winter anyway, for that place to have such a warmer-than-normal winter makes for truly pathetic conditions. It has been horrible there since November, and I'm sure tens of millions of people will agree with me , not that this point has any relevancy to the discussion at all.

Never thought I'd agree with you. Brown grass and dead plants get very dull, I was starting to miss the lack of snow. Our short winter spell was a treat. I wish we didn't have a long period of not real winter and not real spring; warm days but night cold enough for frost preventing any plant growth, creating a very frustrating 1.5 months or so.
While I know your standards for winter are higher than mine, the US has more of a chance of getting wintry weather better than most temperate latitude places in the world.
Winter continues in my part of the world (western Oregon). We are running about 6 degrees (3.5) below average for the begining of the month. Although we are only 8 days into it, the next two weeks call for much below average temperatures and shots of rain
The upside is we already have had more sunshine than the entirety of March last year plus the first week or so of April and will get one more partially sunny day tomorrow. The rain begins on Saturday and will last through the next week.
When I first saw this I was like "Huh? Last winter wasn't that warm", but then I saw the date .

He did have good luck, didn't he? We didn't know this at the time, but the warm and snowless March 2012 was followed by an equally cold and snowy March 2013 - go figure . I found it quite interesting at the time that 2011-12 seemed to be a top 10 or top 5 warmest across a huge area, but the area where it was the warmest on record was very small. Given the widespread warmth I'd expect to see more all-time records (like March 2012), but I suppose it happens.
