I am quite old. I can remember when we got 3 or 4 strong coastal lows a winter. OF course they were usually rain but a few big snows mixed in. The double storms of Jan 1966 i will never forget. Now i look at any snow i get as the last i will ever see. As much as i wanted those 2ft models to verify i have to admit im not upset at missing out on all the snow removal, LOL
