If you read the entire post, they do say that snowfall has been rare in past
few years.  The climatologist said it would become rarer, but that
occasionally there would be heavy snowfall, and the country would be
unprepared.  It looks like an accurate prediction.  But of course people
will forget the other parts of the prediction.

One prediction that has been made is that the weather would become more
violent.  More variability is possible.
