Actually their snow came from a different mechanism than what causes our big snows. I actually asked PSU about it when it happened and he said it actually could be possible for the Gulf Coast to score the way they did while at the same time we permanently lose big snows. Now he does not believe we've reached the point where the once a decade big snow storm is a thing of the past but snowfall is still in an overall decline due to a loss of the smaller marginal events.
It’s normally quite easy to get decent rain around here. Now if this were happening in winter this wouldn’t be a slam dunk for a big snow because there’s more to go wrong when it comes to that.
