Well, most of Europe stopped having consistent snow, so we can't refer to it like that any more. I remember when I was a kid come November there was frost on the ground and the soil would gradually freeze and harden, creating the type of environment needed for snow to persist. Twenty years have passed and it's all gone now. We have droughts in the summer though, for which we're largely unprepared because water retention was never a concern before. That's climate change for you I guess.
