Let me see if I have this straight: if I wake up in the Northeast (where I am not) with 30 inches of snow on my doorstep, I’m not “having things bad?”
No doubt you would be inconvenienced but it would not be historical.
Historical indicates that such circumstances occur rarely though time and one century is short in regards to things historical.
I lived in Colorado and in 1983 I had snow so deep that the entire front of the house was covered in over 8 feet of snow. My back yard was just about as deep. When I dug out from my garage I got to the street and there was over (well over) 5 feet of snow between me and the house across the street. Cars could not be seen. Trucks could “barely” identified by a bump in the snow. We did not get our street cleared for almost a week because ALL of Denver and the surrounding suburbs were so stranded.
That was not historical. That was cyclical.
