This winter will be remembered for its warmth and lack of snow. Also, a major Halloween nor'easter dumped a foot of snow in some places, but only an inch in Boston. Then, November was warm and the warmth continued into the winter months. And, it was a very dry winter and the major drought continues in the Boston area.
