Possibly the mildest winter in history is nearly behind us. Everyone is scrambling to find the best way to describe this weird weather event. I'm a pretty good wordsmith and have taken some decent attempts at colorful description.
My friend Tri-Limb is the current winner in the "Best Winter Description" contest. Tri-Limb lists his occupation as retired farmer, which may give him some credibility in this weather thing, though goat rancher is a bit more accurate.
His description of how mild our winter has been:
"I think my barn hose only froze once and my Carharts are are clean, too." That's a pretty nice winter!
He went on to share that he remembers a 4 foot April snow fall in Des Moines. I've never trusted his memory. He and I lost a hotel one night.
