lol. That is exactly the direction headed for my children by comparison with my own childhood. When I grew up snow was an expected part of winter. It was rare to have a year without a snowfall of any kind.
The rarity for my kids was to have snow at all. Now in their twenties they have experienced an order of magnitude fewer snowfalls throughout their lives than I did to reach similar age. They have never experienced a snowfall that was even a level I'd have simply called normal and expected as a child, let alone the couple of memorable heavy snows.
Sure they have experienced snow, but of the most feeble kind... That's without invoking the record winters of 63 or 78 (79? I forget which).

The catch is, I grew up in the 70's, which were an unusually cold period. My grandparents grew up in the 20's and 30's and they'd had it much warmer in their childhoods.
