The fake news Washington Post said 2017 was the year without a winter.
A more accurate description would be “the year without a cherry blossom.“
The fake news New York Times announced the end of snow three years ago.
The End of Snow? – The New York Times
—
Every state except for Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and possibly Alabama and Oklahoma has snow on the ground.
Now compare vs the same date in 2015, which was a brutally cold winter in the Eastern US. The non-winter of 2017 has a lot more snow on the ground than the brutal winter of 2015.
