1 Year Ago: Winter Returns

Here's the Huckleberries Online post from Feb. 25, 2014:

The snow fell relentlessly Monday, creating treacherous driving conditions and whiting out any lingering thoughts that this winter might be a wash when it comes to snowfall. The Coeur d'Alene Police Department reported 16 weather-related vehicle crashes between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. Coeur d'Alene climatologist Cliff Harris said the snow was coming down at a rate of an inch an hour for most of the afternoon. By 6 p.m., 6.3 inches had fallen. "That broke the record of 6 inches even on Feb. 24 in 1955," Harris said. More from Coeur d'Alene Press here.

Question: Anyone disappointed with the mild 2014-15 wnter?
