‘I miss the snow': While some welcome warmth, others wish for winter weather

Warmer-than-normal temperatures are welcome news for some New Englanders, but others are longing for winter weather.

The Leo J. Martin Golf Course in Weston, Massachusetts, is a busy place for golfers and cross-country skiers winding down the season.

"There's a group of guys that I usually play with. We'll dress up and we'll go out. It's really a lot of fun," one golfer said.

The final days of February have included temperatures in the upper 50s and even the 60s for some, marking the end of another warmer-than-normal winter.

NBC10 Boston Meteorologist Pamela Gardner says the changing winter weather pattern reflects the changing climate around the country.

"We actually had our first 100-degree high temperature across central Texas yesterday," Gardner said. "First 100-degree day in the U.S. in February."

It's cooler Tuesday afternoon along the water in South Boston, and Sullivan's still hasn't opened, despite the unseasonable weather.

"There such a generation of young people who don't know sledding and ice-skating outdoors," one woman said.

The lack of snow is disconcerting, especially for those trying to make a living during the winter months.

"I miss the snow. I'm missing a lot of work right now. I wish we could get a little more snow before it's all over," a man said.

At the golf course in Weston, the warmer weather is making for an interesting winter combination.

"You could ski, you could golf. Right after ski, you could play a round of golf. It's great," one man said.
