Dude. My coworkers are all like 'Oh my gosh, not having to shovel rocks, not having to deal with icy roads rocks.' and I'm sitting here going 'You're aware that we need that snow for the lakes to stay healthy, right? And that big parts of our ecosystem are dependent on a strong annual freeze?'

Last week I was talking to a guy in upstate New York worried about migration of insects north. Apparently they don't get ticks there because the long winters are too much for them. There are definitely consequences to winter being six weeks late. And then there are all the economic issues to not having winter tourism. I like hiking almost as much as snowshoeing, but I doubt many skiers visit bare mountains.
