The weather in your location has been extremely mild in some places while in far Northern Ohio it has bee about average.
Part of this comes from the warm phase or El-Nino in the Pacific. Warmer systems are drawn off of the Pacific and move across your area. This makes it warmer and dryer than normal.
But the snows often come from the Lakes too - and the snow machines there just haven't been given the chance they usually have as a result of the warmer air, and changes in flow from the East from the lakes driving much of the moisture northward into Canada, or elsewhere.
I just answered anotherr question concerning the unusual warmth by another user asking about snow in the Mid Atlantic - they weren't too happy about my answer but it did help them. They had just purchased snow boots for their children and well.... no snow I'm afraid there either in MD.
Hang in there -- the cold phase always changes things for your area known as La-Nina.

That depends on where you live. If it has usually snowed by now where you live it is likely because this is what they are calling a moderate El Nino year.
El Nino is a weather pattern that starts (apparently) in the south Pacific Ocean and ends up messing with weather all over the planet. It makes it rain heavy where it usually doesn't and keeps it from raining (or snowing) where it usually does.
Sometimes El Nino puts normal rain or snow amounts over the top, as it has done in the Washington State and Oregon area for rain and in Colorado for snow.
Heck we even got a little bit of snow here in NE Texas about a month ago. It melted in a couple of hours to a day, though, as it usually does here even when it snows at the coldest part of the winter (January - February).

I live in Vermont and the snow has been coming later and later each year for the past three years. This is only the biginng of the global warming and fuel crisis, we ain't seen nothing yet.

It depends on where you live. Where my cousins live in Pennsylvania it hasn't snowed either, where it usually has about 20-25 inches now by this time of year.
It seems like they're in a warm-spell.

I must live in the same place because we usually have all our ski areas open by now and guess what- no snow, no cold weather!

Cause the conditions are not right for it to snow.
