>>Meteorlogists Adam Dean, Nick Wiltgen, and TWC Severe Weather Expert, Dr. Greg Forbes (Find him on Facebook) compiled a list of the cities that have already picked up more than their entire season's average snowfall.  At last count, the list is up to 30 cities from the Dakotas to the Deep South to Massachusetts.

>>Here are some "snotables" to chew on:
>>
>>
>>5 separate snow events in Nashville.  Snowiest start to season since 2002-2003 (10.4"). 
>>
>>5 days with measurable snow in Atlanta.  (Average for season is only 1-2 days)
>>
>>Huntsville, Ala. picked up a year's worth of snow in just one hour (4" on Jan. 10)!
>>
>>Fargo, N.D. has picked up almost 30" more snow than average-to-date.
>>
>>The last bullet statement above portends yet another nervous spring ahead, when the prodigious winter snow has to melt.

>>Just something to ponder on...................

>Aww, for chrissakes, look at the global trend instead of a few isolated instances that occurred in a couple of tin-pot bits of the U.S. (Snow in N.Y. is not more important because it is N.Y)
>We had the coldest December here since records were kept. Is that supposed to prove something ?

Yes. It's time to move to a sunnier part of England.

Oh wait....
