Nah not broken. Just older.
Also, part of the allure for me is the ability to witness things I've never experienced before. I think the last 15 years has checked off all the boxes. What more is there? I remember up until the Bliz of '96, the 2' storm was on my list. Every year the thought of being balls deep was a huge driver as we headed into winter. I've been fortunate enough to see some things I could only dream of growing up in the 80s. I'm very humbled by that.
