Sadly, locals have begun to accept the weather forecast for December 2021: snow is unlikely to arrive anytime soon. No White Christmas this year. Resort operators are trying to make snow, but the public mind knows that unless a big storm arrives, skiing is really out of the question.
Climate change? Some would say so. Others say its to big a subject to pinpoint a single cause. While we humble residents look for the usual snow on the ground, we often overlook the fact that "average" does not mean customary and usual amounts of snow. Year-over-year amounts vary considerably. Pundits like to measure with "average" so as to compare with existing amounts. This creates expectations that are rarely met. Hence, gloom and doom. Jobless workers careen around the shoreline, searching for employment opportunities that will tide them over. It becomes a game of:"how much pain can you accept".
We have experienced drought before; but now it seems that more often than not, we won't get what we need(average) very much.
So, buck up; have a backup plan; stay healthy; get vaccinated. Go online and do a job search. Get ready to move.
