I like our chances on this one. I think it is still only the middle of March and that is still winter. I remember a few years back sitting on a porch bar-b-q'ing and it was 78 degrees out. The next morning there was 2 inches of snow on the ground and that was mid-April. I also like the fact that the snow accumulations are not too far north, so there is a good chance for snow to accumulate in the DE area, with just a little southerly swing of the rain snow line.
I was out on my riding mower yesterday in my t-shirt mowing up last year's leaves. Saturday I may have to get the snow shovel out once more.
Beware the Ides of March.
