I don’t miss the snow or cold, but I am occasionally dealing with hurricanes. They have been close but haven’t caused any significant damage where I live. And I always say at least the snow never tried to kill me
Snow can definitely get you, at least here in MT. I’m from Raleigh and lived in Florida for a while. Florida was hot. Too hot. And nowhere else has rained like NC. I miss the rain the most. Florida got similar precip but it was seldom an all-day thing, more like a downpour and then done.
I moved to Maryland a while ago and can see this bullshit happening in real time. When I moved that winter we had at least 3-4 good snows with multiple inches of accumulation. I think we had 1 this year and last year.
Seriously, the past 2 winters in the northeast have been the lowest snow on record by quite a margin. I’ve got some snowmobiles and normally can get in around 10-15 rides per season, but this winter we only got 3. Two of which were on the same weekend. The whole rest of the winter there wasn’t enough snow
I’ll never forget 4th grade, middle of the winter 30ish years ago. Back then, ozone and fckw was the big thing and we talked about it in school. I looked out of the window and we had like 60cm of snow. I asked my teacher if that means that we won’t have any snow in the future. He said: yes, basically, but it’s moving so slow that we won’t even realize it in our lifetime. I think that was the last time we had that much snow. It was getting less and less every year. Now we have like a week of a tiny little bit of snow per year. And i still hear people going: see, climate change isn’t real when it snows once.
I moved from the past to the present and then regretted no more snow.
