Tomorrow we're supposed to get downright cold for a few days...going as low as 26(C) by next Thursday! Otherwise the past few days have hovered steady at 33 (or so the weather forecast told me; not sure what the actual temp was). We even had unseasonable rain two days in a row last week. So far this winter strikes me as cooler than last year.
No, I do not in any way, shape, or form miss snow!

In Michigan, may I assume you mean Fahrenheit?
It's still coming down. I just came in from clearing the laneway for about the sixth time since it started.

Our Victoria/Vancouver region, a place we Cdn prairie folk go to escape the winter weather, is getting more snow this morning than we have on the ground - most having melted away the past week.

Hey, speak for yourself. Some places on Vancouver Island did have snow but Victoria has rain. (Rain is bad enough. We are actually dryer than Miami so we have to post reminders of proper umbrella etiquette in the newspapers.)
The Victoria City council voted and it is illegal for it to snow within the city limits. We have but one snow plow, but the guy who knows how to drive it vacations in Florida.
So you people can keep that white stuff. It interferes with our tea sipping at sidewalk cafes.

Here, overlooking the Salish Sea in British Columbia, we began the day with big flakes of white. Now, in the early afternoon, it has mostly melted away and we have just a light rainfall. Temperature is 3C. Coastal living

Does he vacation in the winter? That would be the sensible solution.
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
