Here in Berkeley, CA, winter has pretty much never shown up. The few rain storms we've had came up from the tropics, warm systems. A lot of this "winter" has been as warm as the average summer day, some rather warmer. Last winter was quite a bit warmer than usual, this one has been quite a bit warmer than last winter. We had a day a few days ago when it got to 77 in my yard, another where it reached 80! Yesterday's high was 58, though and the sun never shown, a damned cold spell! Today was much nicer.
I've got my spring planting preparations all done, I've planted my squash, I'd have planted my tomatoes but none of the nurseries have the 6 pack I want, their suppliers are just not geared to getting them out this early.
