Read a news article this morning about how this is the longest DC, Baltimore, Philly, and NYC have all gone without snow. Also stated that it's not the record warmest winter, but definitely in the top 10.

Climate change can actually bring increased levels of precipitation in some places. Climate and weather are two very different things and the latter depends on a whole complicated spectrum of factors. It's not necessarily "world getting warmer = less snow." Some areas will actually get more at some points if the conditions line up.

don't worry, it's only the new normal for this year, next year will be a whole new (even warmer) mystery
