Wow! Besides Germany of 1954-1956; and a few years in Indianapolis !956-1961) I lived in North Louisiana and southern Arkansas. And we had a few winters in North Louisiana and southern Arkansas that had some very severe ice storms, and them old houses without insulation or storm windows and doors were pretty cold.
We lived in Memphis TN from 1961-2000; on Christmas eve 1963 it came a blizzard from about 9 AM until 10 PM, total snow 14” to 16”(was -10 degrees for the next 5 days).
Right at the end of March 68, it had rained most of the day, started to snow about 2PM, I left work downtown about 5 PM, was about 6 to 8 inches of snow. It reached about 16” + that evening.
We can all say, “we still have weather”!
I remember the big show of ‘47 in northern NJ. We had 27 inches. It was up to my chest. I was 9 years old. After my father dug a path to the street. I dug caves in the side walls of the path for my 15 month old brother to crawl into. What fun!!
Some people think it was colder in the 50’s due to sulfur in the pollution. We scrubbed out the sulfur, and it got too warm for them, and now the Chinese are pouring sulfur into the air.
My husband is in your corner. Yes, it’s colder because it’s winter. And then it will get hotter when summer comes.
