Every year the entire Midwest experiences this nostalgia for long-gone weather patterns, probably twice. Once at Halloween where you'll commonly hear people say "when I was a kid we had to design our costumes to fit over winter coats" and once in December where you'll hear "remember when we used to have snow on Christmas day?"
- cardamomo 7y agoYes! I'm from Wisconsin, and I feel this so deeply. I especially miss the crisp cold of October nights. I remember hearing an episode of Minnesota Public Radio's Climate Cast [0], a show/podcast about the climate crisis in MN, where a guest spoke about cultural losses in his state. What happens when cross-country skiing is no longer a viable sport? Elsewhere in Minnesota, academics are researching the solastalgia of indigenous communities [1].
