I'm going to crash in on it with the prosaical pronouncement that, for Wisconsin mosquitos at least, what determines the size of the crop is not the winter snow but the level of the spring thaw. The more water, the more eggs which were laid throughout the previous years are moistened and hatch, the more mosquitos flying around. Little snow and a dry spring is better than lots of snow to turn into lots of meltwater.anglophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074462196299441293noreply@blogger.com
