[quote=“jhereg, post:6, topic:486”]oy! the winters are really, really changing
when i was 9, we moved from San Diego to SE Ohio, and i remember that that winter was cold and it wasn’t just me; we kept moving from house to house 'cuz pipes were freezing and busting or furnaces would crap out etc.
in the following years i went from a kid who’d never seen snow (and figured it looked like it did in those “Peanuts” comics) to being very familiar w/ snow 3ft deep.
now, we get a foot of snow and its all “Winter Storm 07” (dramatic musical cue)
yeah, i’ve watched the winters here get pretty dang mild over the last 20-ish years…[/quote]
Yep, I was home for October (normally my favorite month because of the trees turning) and at the beginning it was 90-100 degrees out, and on Halloween I kept saying “I remember when it was snowing on Halloween!” when this year it was sunny and WARM! I mean, tshirt weather! And it’s STILL WARM, enough that you don’t have to wear a coat at least. I was at some parks with a friend the other day and I had just a long sleeve shirt on and it was so nice and warm and sunny. Don’t get me wrong, I love the weather we are having, but it is so different than when I grew up. I am wondering what this winter will be like. Jokingly, I was telling my friend that there was not going to be any snow at all, that it was going ot be like the winters in portland! Hmmm… maybe that’s not too far off…
