The Tug Hill of New York[ not far from here] still gets some of the greatest snowfall amounts in the country or Canada. Mostly lake effect off Ontario.

Just heard on last night's weather report at 11 PM that last winter set a record for the warmest, driest winter for NE Penna since 1921.
I remember my Grandfather saying to me back in the 1970's and 80's that
"we don't get winters like we used to"... and he was a pretty accurate man, not prone to exaggeration.
I have mixed feelings about the mild winters; I don't complain about NOT having to shovel feet of snow, but I also know that means the climate is changing, and probably not for the better...
