> Who knows any more? I don't remember there ever being a time where I could go outside in December in short sleeves and not freeze to death. It's too odd. El Nino maybe? This morning it was raining outside and the weather is saying that the sun is supposed to be shining later today. I think mother nature got knocked in the head and can't remember the month.

Something has changed. The first winter I spent in Lenoir City we got a total of 54 inches of snow. Not all at once, but in a series of snowstorms. One put 18 inches in our front yard. That was 1960. Now, anything more than an inch is considered a big snow. I miss those old-time big snows, but one a year would be enough.
