I've been enjoying the chillier days but I was hoping to get to see a bit more proper snow my first winter here! Still, I've seen more snow even this relatively tame winter than I have in multiple combined winters back in TN so it's something! But I've got some big, thick socks, duck boots, an insanely warm coat and wanted a chance to really be out there in the thick of it!

Oh I remember 2010 too. But before that, we hadn’t had snow like that since 1993. If you look at the historical snowfall, the past few years haven’t been significantly less than what has happened since the 1800s.

I just think the whole “winter isn’t how it used to be” is hyperbole. Winter hasn’t changed all that much in 200 years here.
