Canada

Not Canadian but I'm in an area of the U.S Midwest that is known for cold winters and I feel similar. At this time of year, I've always worn layers when I go running outside. Typically 3 layers of clothes, but even at "record highs" before this year I would have at least a Thermo undershirt under my outer shirt.

This entire month, and I'm not exaggerating, I have been able to wear the tank tops I wear during summer. News casters keep saying, "look at all of this wonderful weather we're having," but this is not the winter I would've signed up for.

I miss building snowmen and taking my kids tobogganing. It feels like the last few years we haven't had a good snowfall that has stayed on the ground for longer than a day, it really sucks. When I first emigrated to Canada in 93, there was a shit ton of snow by November, through March. Now it's just gross and muggy and dirty throughout winter

Hello from Denver where it was 70 degrees yesterday, and is supposed to be 68 today. This ain’t right.

If only data existed in the 1890s that told us this would happen.

On the bright side, this is an el Nino winter, which are typically milder than normal (at least after its been going for a year, the transition ones like last winter aren't as affected), so this isn't necessarily the new norm and next winter might be more snowy.

But on the other hand, this is by far the mildest winter I've ever seen, and the last few winters have all been milder than the previous el Nino winter, so this could be the norm within a decade. And we still have an el Nino summer coming.

Ok, new bright side: it's an interesting time to be alive!

This is just the beginning.

We need to prioritize mitigating climate change and adapting to changing environments and risks.

Gotta move up north to the territories!
