The predictions actually go back to the late 1880s, when we were predicted to freeze to death. There was one year that NYC was buried in snow. In NC, in an area that rarely gets any snow at all, my great-grandmother said one year back then, the snow was incredibly deep. She said they'd run out of supplies and had to go to town. The horse's belly was dragging in the snow. I guess that would get some people worried.
