Grew up outside of DC. Snow absolutely happened then, and it was a standing joke that the Russians were investing in weather control so they could cause an inch of snow to shut down the city.
I still remember Feb 1979, when we got 2 feet of snow overnight and school was closed for a week.
- wiredfool 5y agoWhat is new is the leaves coming off the trees in December instead of the end of October, and the common occurrence of 70 degree days in the winter. It used to be that shorts weather at Christmas was something to remember and retell to the next generation. (That would be the year of the roller skates, and the horrifically muddy ski trip) Now it’s just last week.
