No, not normal at all. Isolated storms and a rare winter tornado are not unheard of, but this is not normal. We didn't get any of it, but the temperatures here have been 12-15F over normal, with night time temperatures way above average. I was hoping to get some use out of our fireplace this winter, but we've only used it a couple times so far. Still sleeping with the windows open! It hit 29C today.
