I remember when I was 4 years old, there was a by-god serious blizzard snowstorm for days and my grandfather had to take hay out to the cows or they would starve. I remember that selfsame grandfather talking about when he was a boy in SC, it snowed consistently every winter, a lot of the winter. This was almost 100 years ago (he was born in 1901 - no, I don't mean my great-grandfather, I mean my grandfather. He didn't have kids till he was in his 40s. We have long generations in my family.)
Anyway, the climate used to be different here. A lot different. In the lifetime of someone I knew. That's scary.
