We aren't through May yet, but the numbers aren't that far behind last year.
There was discussion last year about the power numbers and whether it was steroids (the lack thereof) or the weather. The numbers then went up through the summer.
I would bet that the same thing happens this year. The cold usually has an effect early in the year.
