The myth of Valley Forge. People think it was a harsh winter when the reality was it was a mild winter, temperature wise, which caused muddy impassable roads which delayed supplies.
A normal cold winter with snow would have been passable because that was again normal and what they were prepared for.
That is from what I understood from Park Rangers when I lived near Valley Forge in Mont Clare Pennsylvania.
