Twice the snow fell on my Rogers Slide porch last February than the whole 80s combined
Had to dig out my grandfathers old wood stove after the power went out for 3 days, and it reminded me how we used to actually plan for winters around here, anyone else notice storms hitting harder now?

Storms always seemed worse when you were a kid, didn't they?

Oh totally, 100%. I remember being like 8 years old and a thunderstorm would roll in and I'd be convinced the world was ending. My dog would crawl under the bed and I'd be right there with him, hiding under the covers. Now when it storms I just check if my trash cans are gonna blow over and go back to scrolling on my phone. It's wild how your brain just scales everything down as you get older, you know? Like the same loud crack of thunder that made you freeze as a kid is just background noise now. I think part of it is you just didn't have any frame of reference back then, so every storm felt like the biggest one ever.
