    I am not nearly old enough to see such drastic shange as you but even at 22 years old I have seen getting less and less snow each year as the time passes. When I was little we got at least 30-50cm of snow each winter. Not that much in the grand scheme but it was enough for everything to be snow covered and we used to build snowmen and igloos during the winter holidays. Our local lake used to freeze each winter and people would go out ice skating. It has not frozen more than once in the last 10 years. If we do get some snow it usually melts the same day because it changes from snowing to raining, or it just rains the next day. We had 1 day this year when snow was even falling and all the rest was just rain. We had rain on new years while I was able to go outside and rake the leaves last year while wearing nothing but a tshirt. I remember having 30cm of snow about 7 years ago on the same day so you can say it’s quite a change. I used to get excited for winter but now it’s just colder autumn with none of the nice colours.
