SP Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Tony Wood from the Philadelphia Inquirer was e-mailing me the last couple of days about the dearth of larger ticket single snow events in Philadelphia during the late '60s into the '70s. Granted this is for Philly and other places might have done better with some events during that time, but: No single snow event over 7 inches fell from February 8, 1967 until January 19-20, 1978 in Philly and there were only two single events of between 6 and 7 inches during that time. Now was that due to global warming too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctilucent Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 This is a fascinating and timely thread. I lived through those 11 years! It was bad, 72-73 being the "nadir", such as it was. The past decade (2001-2011) was a pretty good one for snowlovers (it got off to a bad start, I know!). However, just based on cyclical weather patterns we are probably due for some lean snow years coming up. So....brace yourself. Hopefully it won't last as long as the lean period in the 1970's. Merry (or just as likely, "Muddy") Christmas to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
