Did the snow used to stick around longer?

The climate deniers probably want me to think I'm nuts, but I swear when I was growing up in the 90's and early 00's that we usually had snow on the ground for most of the winter. Now it seems like we always get a spell of mild weather within like a week of every winter storm that melts it all. I was happy to finally have a whitish Christmas this year after I don't even know how many years without one.
