Some friends and I were talking about the weather when we were little kids....we used to get real blizzards in the 70's here in Indiana....snow piled on the sides of the road way higher than the schoolbus ! We had huge snow tunnels all over the back of the yard....and Dad would get out the hose and spray them with water to really freeze it for us....back when we really had snow.
We haven't had those kinds of snows for years, and I've had people tell me that out east too....just not the same. I do believe it's alot of global warming attributing to this.
