>>1015972Where I live, when I was a child, the winters gave us -50F temps at most and 4 to 12 feet of snow. My winters as a child were spent tunneling, making snow forts, sled ramps, and going ice fishing. From early October to the middle of May it would be snowing.
Fast forward 45 years and the past decade there's been barely any snow at all. Now the spring flowers bloom in January. This winter the Canadian geese did not leave to go south and the groundhogs never went into hibernation. The blue birds even started nesting in February. I was able to plant my garden an entire month earlier than normal.
I don't know if that's global warming/climate change, but it sure is something and it isn't a fluke or a short trend. It is a fact of life here.
