I live in Reno. Where our house is located east of the sierra mountains, we had a decade of only needing to shovel once or twice a winter. The past couple years we hired a shoveling service because we have been having regular snowfalls for months on end! The ski slopes in the past decade often couldn’t open until after the new year. One opened last week because it is so cold already. It seems part of typical patterns for the region if you read the history of the area.

Strange thing, I did not see this reported on the news as often as this summer's record breaking heat. Any thoughts on why?
