Heard a program on the radio last night that mothers pushing their baby strollers head south for the winter too as you don't see them all winter. Come the warm days of spring, they head back north.
The Canadian geese in N.C. and Va. don't migrate any more. They just stay all year and crap in one place! Metal detecting near farm ponds can get "slick".
very mild here also. got away super easy.
heating bill very low, didn't use alot of propane in my fireplace either.
all in all it was a cheap and easy winter for us
