In these winter months, seems one day it is 60 degrees, next day snowing (as it will be here today).  I've heard some people say, if it's going to be winter, bring on the snow and cold.  Others enjoy the small breaks the 50 and 60 degree weather give us.  Which would you rather?

(Me, I enjoy having some warm days in between)

I'm in northern Ohio and our winter has been the same as yours.  I love this milder weather with ups and downs, more unseasonably warm days than cold.  I've experienced too many brutally cold, snowy winters in my life to not appreciate this.

The part of the country whiere I live in isn't noted for having  an abundance of sunshine during the year, so that makes winter even more weary.  So I enjoy the occasional warm days.

When I was a kid (and when I had a kid) I wanted winter. I wanted sled riding, snowman building, snow days off from school, and a white Christmas. 

Now that I'm grown, and my kid is too, I am perfectly happy with a 'mild' winter. I do love the seasons, and the changes, but I have reached the point in my life where 'hard' winter could start mid December and be done by mid January, and I'd be perfectly fine with it!

I'm so happy for the breaks from the extreme cold and snow.

Here in maine, last night we had a little snow, getting freezing rain now,and it is to turn to rain, after the horrible winter we had last winter, this winter has been a pleasure.

I'll take all the breaks I can get, thank you!  I hate cold and snow.......(not necessarily in that order).  It's pouring down rain here in NE Ohio today; and tomorrow it'll turn to snow again.  We actually had four sunny and relatively warm days in a row here (Sat thru Tues)........a rare occurence any time of year here, let alone in February!  Everyone (including me) was in a better mood.

A lot of Ohioans here. I am from southwest Ohio, and do enjoy the breaks. Rain right now, turning to snow later, but temps back up into the fifties again this weekend.

We just had three weeks where it was in the 80s and I had the AC on. (I can't open a window because there's so much pollen and we've had very high winds.) Then yesterday it was 57 when I left work, much colder than when I'd left my house in the morning, and I was freezing. I'd already changed my winter comforter for my summer quilt because it was too hot at night for the last few weeks and then last night it was in the 40s and will be colder tonight.

It's hard when the temperature fluctuates by 30+ degrees in 25 hours and 44 degrees in 36 hours. I'd rather have it be more consistent.
