    And I'm told that on the day I was born, in January 1954 in Lexington, Nebraska, that there was no snow on the ground.

    We should be aware, sure...but I don't think we have near enough of a historical climate demographic to go :ohnoes:

    I know, Techman, but these are photos going back over a century. :shrug:

    It's something worth keeping an eye on, I do agree.

    I snow exactly where I am. I'm not always directionally challenged.

    I had a slightly zen friend once who said "What if we had 12 inches of snow ... all at once?" Then he stood with his arms over his head like a diver and said "FWUMP!"

    My part of Connecticut averages about 24 inches or so a year give or take. This year we are sitting at a cool 1/4 inch. That all fell in one night. If it wasn't for that we'd be heading for the first January on record without snow. This coming right after the first December on record without snow. Towns around here usually purchase snow insurance and a bunch of them are going crazy at all the money that is going to waste this year.

    Yes, it's quite common out here. They pay a lump some to a private company that plows, salts and sands the roads when it snows a certain amount. Usually 3 or 4 inches. Takes about 5 or 6 of those events a winter for the insurance to pay for itself or 2 massive blizzards. Last year towns that had it made a killing, now it's the other way around.
