I would say definitely less snow in the US North-East than “back in my day”, but certainly more storms/weird weather. Like we are supposed to have possibly 70mph wind gusts tomorrow with snow/sleet/rain all in a 24hr period of time.
We haven’t had very many storms in New England this winter. The last big storms in a row, were back in 2013-15 and they were still late February storms. Our first plowable storm was Sunday, and we’re scheduled for 2-3 inches of rain tonight.
I used to work in the ski industry, but it was already a low paying job, when the season starts 1+ months later and ends sooner, it’s barely worth the gas money to get there.
the future is already here. a few years back, several regions experienced their ‘latest’ first snowfall on record.
and today? it’s january 8th. there should be a couple feet of snow on the ground here. the only thing you’ll see in your back yard is a green lawn.
it snows here just enough to make you need to shovel then it all melts from the week of rain
This is a feedback loop, as snow reflects sunlight (heat) back into Space, so a lack of snow exacerbates climate change, thus increasing the areas getting less snow, thus warming the planet more, thus…
MN checking in. Haven’t even needed to use my proper winter coat yet. There’s technically snow outside, finally, but it’s a pitiful display.
As someone who usually questions why I’m living here around this time, it’s a bittersweet situation. Mild winters are obviously easier, but it’s unsettling at the same time. Reckon I need to stay at this point. We’ll be well stocked once the water wars begin. 😂😭
I remember being in 4th grade around 28 years ago. The big thing back then was FCKW and the ozone hole. I specifically remember my teacher talking about global warming and what it means. He ended up with: “it happens so slow that we’re not even gonna see the impact it has.”
Back then, we would go to school on skies a bunch of times in the winter. We had 60cm snow over night on some days.
Fast forward 10 years, there was not enough snow anymore to sky. Fast forward 10 more years. It snows maybe twice a year for a total of a week. Present day, we have snow like every other year.There’s been less and less snow at my local hill for the last 5 years. This year I finally decided to not buy a season pass.

You’d never know it here in Utah. We have snow storm after snow storm coming this week, and all weekend it snowed. There’s not much, only maybe 3 inches on the ground, but it quickly piles up and even though its sunny today, with snow on the ground the temp outside is only 20 degrees.
Our mountains got DUMPED on. Which is good for the ski resorts, they got almost four feet of snow this weekend alone.
It doesn’t snow in our city but it used to in a village not too far away, and people would go there in hordes. Come to think of it, haven’t gone there since the covid lockdowns, nor heard about it from anyone else.
It sucks, as the bigger picture is weather is getting strange and less predictable on a global scale, but can’t complain about it being less cold though, for now, at least. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ
Chicago, checking in. We’ve had snow this year and last year, but nothing remarkable since 2021
Cries in Buffalo '22. But still, nowhere near as common as it used to be.
