A few tidbits about this past winter...
Chicago and Rockford Winter 2011-2012
Note how 2011-2012 is tied for 6th place with 1931-1932 with 50 40 degree days. EVERY winter above this winter on this list is from the 1800s! Of the ten winters listed on that "Chicago: 40 Degree Days" graphic, only THREE have occurred within the past 65 years.
I know the "official" recording station (currently at O'Hare Airport) has been moved at least once in the past century, but that's no excuse. Let's face facts here: winters like this past one (without prolonged Arctic cold) are nothing new!

Although it never says so directly, this Wall Street Journal Op-Ed seems to hint that the Federal Reserve's monetary policy is a little more than partly to blame for this.
Personally, I think that's the main factor.

As high as $3.79 here.
Is it really $5.00 in parts of California?
