    I remember when we used to have to squeeze our Halloween costumes over our snowsuits in Canada because it was too cold to go without. I don’t find it that cold anymore. And snow every December. I only ever saw one green Christmas as a kid in the 1980s.

    I hate this timeline so much.

      Every time there is snow we make damn sure to get our kids outside to enjoy it. I hate to say it out loud but at the rate we’re going I’m not at all certain we’ll still have snow here in a few years. And I’m in Wisconsin, we’re supposed to be part of the frozen north.

      Every single year winter gets milder. It snows later and thaws earlier. I have to make sure my sump pump is ready to run year round. We used to ice fish around Thanksgiving. Now I barely get to go ice fishing at all unless I drive north a couple hours.

      Depends on where you are in Canada. It still gets snowy in some parts mid October

      I mean, I’m fine with these temperatures in October honestly.

      Not so much with the ones we had in July and we’ll soon have for the whole summer, though.
