Not out here on the left coast, where we see snow about twice every three years, and even then it's 1cm or so and is gone the next day.

However, as I type this, it is absolutely dumping outside. We're at about 8cm and gaining fast, with forecasts in the negative teens for next week (normal is just above zero). So yeah, it's colder than average.

I'm not saying the earth is spinning into space or anything, but just that the weather, to some, could appear to be significantly colder than normal.
