The cold, hard truth: The winter of 2015 has gone on too long

(CNN)What's up with this winter? It's the last week of February. Isn't the weather supposed to be getting better, not worse?
New England is a lost cause. The upper Midwest is more like Siberia.
Usually, the South offers some hope. Good luck with that.
Most folks like to go there for the winter. Apparently, so does Arctic air.
It was colder last week, but slightly less frigid air is still hanging around and now there's ice to go with it.
Officially, forecasters call it a wintry mix. That's code for snow, sleet, rain and freezing rain. Weather advisories are posted from east Texas to the Carolinas.

Snow profits


While the South struggles with winter, a Boston man has found a way to profit from it. For $89, he'll express ship 6 pounds of snow to anywhere in the United States. It's packed in a Styrofoam container so it shouldn't melt too much. Ship Snow, Yo sold out the first day and with 70 inches of the white stuff on the ground, the company should be able to fill orders for some time to come.
