The lack of snow in some places, and in even places with snow that are getting less than usual, illustrates the increasingly fickle nature of winter in the Midwest, where dry, mild weather is making life difficult for businesses that rely on abundant snow.

Kim Dotcom in helicopter drama
Published: 06:44:57 AM, Mon 28 January 2013 UTC
Internet tycoon Kim Dotcom's helicopter pilot had to make an emergency landing on the way to a meeting.
Dotcom tweeted about the incident and posted pictures throughout the day on Monday.
"No kidding. Emergency landing in the middle of nowhere. #BumpyRide," he wrote.
He described the pilot as a "hero" after he fixed a disconnected wire, which allowed them to take to the air again.
Dotcom was on his way to meet ailing broadcaster Sir Paul Holmes.
"Almost died to meet the knight ;-)", Dotcom tweeted with a picture of himself and Sir Paul after reaching his destination.
Sir Paul, who was recently knighted, is reportedly spending time at his Hawke's Bay lodge after being released from hospital.
