> People have adapted almost completely to the idea of snow being some rare, special event. People who fondly remember playing in the snow nearly everyday in winter during their childhood have come to expect 50-60 degree January afternoons and think of snow as a special occasion. These people are saying those twice a year snowfalls are proof that nothing is changing, while knowing full well that they were wearing layers of coats and scarves years ago and walking around in t-shirts now. I fondly remember playing in the snow in Siberia and above north circle in northern parts of Russia during my childhood. Now in California, I am truly expecting >50F January (and I mostly get it).
