some of you nimrods are not paying attention to the thread

i am not just talking about anecdotal anomalies, i am talking about an overall trend over the past 30-40 years

also, the winters were more consistent in terms of, once it became cold, it stayed cold, and snow would actually accumulate over a period of 2-3 months, then there would be a big melt

now its like snow storm one week, melt the next week, etc.
