I recall winters circa 1958, 1960 in western PA as being much more harsh than today, with three feet of snow in the driveway being the norm. It was a big deal to shovel out the driveway. We got enuf snow to build snowmen, today we do not get that same amount of snow, and how many snowmen do you see getting built today.

Looks like a Big Noreaster is going to crank up early next week. All models are predicting another East coast blizzard. Snow could be so intense that even Western PA might see some action.

The Really Big One... Next Week???

Drive a little east to New Jersey, we have had plenty of snow to build snowmen the last couple of years. After twenty years of global warming it is cold in the spring and winter and hot in the summer and fall, like it always has been. Couple of years ago you needed a jacket into June.

heck, The winters of the 70s and 80s were wicked. Snow and freezing temps.
Some winters in the 90s were awful. 1996 was colder than heck and in 1994, the record low was 24 below.

Import snow from Mexico to build the snowmen Americans just won't build.
