Another Hard Winter

The first month of the winter was practically snowless. "Payback" finally came on January 27, when a foot and a half of white stuff fell here. Shoveling was quite arduous, especially in windy, cold weather. Now we're about to be hit again. Tomorrow, groundhog day, may see another foot of snow dumped on us.
It's strange that, despite all the talk of global warming, our winters seem as bad as ever if not worse. Recent years have witnessed some of the worst storms or snow totals recorded. March 1993 saw "the storm of the century." 1996 saw record seasonal accumulation. 2001 had four tough storms. 2003 was bad. January 2011 was horrendous. February 2013 seemed like January 2011 all over again except we got the monthly total in a single night...
Ironically it is claimed that global warming is increasing snowfall, since warmer air can absorb more moisture, which precipitates as snow as well as rain. At a certain point, though, as warming continues,  only rain may fall in the wintertime. I can hardly wait for that day.
