Why is it snowing so much in Columbia S.C.?

Columbia SC snow day 2011
You may or may not believe that Global Warming is real, but one thing we can all agree on is how much it’s been snowing these past two years!

I did some digging around on Google and found exactly how much it’s snowed. 2009-2010 placed third in 63 years with an annual snowfall of 8.9 inches. It hasn’t snowed this much in 37 years!

I’ve made this nifty chart for you below to see for yourself:

The second snowfall in Columbia S.C.

Anyone who’s lived in the south long enough will tell you that it doesn’t snow very often. It’s really rare that it snows in Columbia, even more so when it snows twice in one winter. Here are some photos that I took while walking around my neighborhood this afternoon.

New York City: The snow is falling

This is my second snowstorm of 2010 so far in New York. It’s been snowing for the past 24 hours and it’s still coming down. We’re heading down to Central Park soon, so I’ll have more pictures then.
