Yes, the winter 2013-2014 was incredibly warm, and the summer was very rainy over there. Huge bugs pressure on the trees. It looks like this winter is going to be ultra-warm too, I have friends near Rome and they did not pick their olives, same as that guy in the article. Temps are in the 80s at the same latitude as Detroit, things are blooming left and right, so they may miss two years. I told them to get themselves some avocado plants to replace the fat in their diet.

Wish i was there, it's 22F degrees here. We have been 10 to 30 degrees below normal, that is powerful, that is a lot of heat never realized. What sucks is the Great Lakes takes time to lose the cold. Water temp is way down, so the lakes will freeze sooner, yet keeping it that much colder here.
