Mine was quite a while back, but this is being a REALLY weird year.
The lack of any really cold weather, combined with alternating
spells of warm and cold, have meant that it is simultaneously one
of the earliest and latest years I have ever seen, and things that
normally occur in one order have occurred in the other.
