What is this world coming to?

Yesterday was a snowday.  Today started out as a two-hour delay.  After realizing that the power was out on the east side from the river to almost twenty miles out,  the administration finally canceled school.
But it's not the snowdays or delays that make me wonder: It's the increasing frequency and intensity of these storms.
Last year, we might have used up three or four snowdays.  It is only February and we've already had at least six.  And last year, March was the snowiest of all.
The last time we had snowbanks deep enough to tunnel in was six years ago and even then, my parents haven't seen a winter like this since they were children.
I wonder if humans have lost that natural connection, our global conscience, if you will.  Perhaps generation after generation, it slowly diminished, almost disappearing.  How else could we willingly inflict this much damage to our own planet?
How I long to be able to see this planet at its birth, in its most pure and peaceful state.  But unfortunately, I know that will not be a reality until our Lord comes and makes it so. 
That day cannot come fast enough.
