Absolutely, I too can remember that. One does tend to forget one was 2-1/2 feet tall back then though. Still 7-8 inches of snow is not so common as it was. I attribute that to you guys using all that hair spray. Also using all that Freeze, you ran you air conditioners so high it was causing a cool down and the sun had to get hotter to compensate, and then they made Freeze against the law, so now it is a lot warmer.
