Winter 2012's Natural Disaster -Sunshine and Warm Weather

It's the first day of Spring, and we are expecting another record breaking temperature day. Is this the 2nd, 3rd or 4th day in a row? I don't know, but what I do know is that this is CRAZY!!! And, it's going to keep up for a few more days! There's no snow left on Darling Hill, oh, maybe some still in the woods where the sun hasn't gotten it yet. That will all be gone soon.
So for those who don't depend on the winter economy, and for those who don't Sugar and need the freezing nights to go along with these warm days, life is looking up! Lots of people smiling in town. For those of us who do rely on the winter or sugaring economy, this warm and beautiful weather is a Natural Disaster. For many of us here in the NEK, this has hurt us more than Hurricane Irene. And for those in our industry who were badly hit by Irene, this is a double whammy.
It's CRAZY, that beautiful weather can be a Natural Disaster.
