Here in s.WI the snow is rather deep, and has been deep a while.  I recent 
years "open winter" was becoming common, or at least a worthwhile thaw 
between snows so the accumulation wasn't much.  This year has been more like 
the winters I grew up with-- usually difficult to hike in the woods, even 
accounting for the fact I was smaller then!

Solid sheet of ice under everything for 2 full months.

Temperatures have been below zero more this winter than recent years, but not 
the -20s of further past years.

I have no data for this, but I think the wind had been less.  Which is 
interesting because last spring was so windy/ breezy, I didn't spray much 
herbicide.

We are getting what is closer to a “normal” winter here, and even closer in 
SW Wisconsin.  Four feet or more of snow, temps occasionally down to minus 20 
or colder.  If we had a few weeks of below zero, with highs near zero or 
less, and another couple of feet of snow, then I would feel like it was 
really WINTER.
