Old newspaper articles about past NC winters

Recommended Posts

Could someone repost those old newspaper articles about past NC winters?  I remember seeing one that was very old talking about a big snow in Burlington, NC in either the 1700's or 1800's.  There were a few more articles with it that were posted here  several months back.  I searched but I can not find them.

I would like to print them out to share with some friends.

David Ludlum's book Early American Winters 1604-1820 is an excellent source for information on Southern snowstorms in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

The most interesting statement in that post to me, was the editor explaining that the lack of news was due to the mail not getting through.

Our snowfall has declined since the 1980's and is a far cry from few hundred years ago. End of mini ice age

It seems something is killing our snowfall is it Global Warming or something else?  I know JB at times states

a little ice age is coming. The triple crown of cooling. Then posts it will be 20-30 years of cooling.  His statements are all over the map. HE posts links to a site called iceagenow. Which is just trying to sell books really. 

I remember the local newspapers and local news saying we were returning the cold winters of the past after the jan 2000 storm. Well that didn't pan out very well. Overall snowfall wise it just got worse. Now its hard to get a 2 inch snow.
