   It is all due to global warming and here is evidence:
   Texas to New England
   1951 Probably greatest ice storm in U.S. history. Storm ran from Texas to New England. (Jan 28-Feb 4). 1/2 to 4 inches of ice collapsed buildings downed wires, trees, etc. At least 36 killed. Over a $100 million damage.
   I found this at Accuweather! This day in history.

   Back around 1970 they thought we were in for an ice age. The NH has had 2 heavy Decembers in the last 2 years as opposed to one, and 2 heavier January snowfalls in a row than around 1970.

   Being “consistent with AGW” makes a real lot of sense.

   Looks like we’ve had quite a run of snowy winters. All very consistent with global warming!

   1951, following the incredible ice storm there was a snowstorm in FL. St. Augustine has 2 inches.
