Just asking.

It was pretty much the same here in NC, although we did have a bit of Spring transition before the hot summer. In the last week, though, the temps have dropped about 15-20 degrees almost overnight.

Of course, we also had the most snow in over 20 years during this last winter and the most school days missed since I was in Jr. High.

The overall temps weren't as cold as the winter before (which was one of the coldest we've had in years), but we did have a lot more snow than usual.
