>As someone who believes in climate change, and grew up playing in the snow - what on earth are you talking about? Where is this magical place where it used to be snowy all winter long and is now averaging 50-60 degrees with snow now being a rare occasion?
New England.
Snow that fell in mid-November and later used to stick around until spring and we'd almost NEVER (like maybe one day every 3+ yr) have a 50-60deg day in January/February. Now you rarely have snow that sticks around more than a couple weeks and having the occasional 50+deg day in January/February is not uncommon. Winters have definitely become more mild in the past 20ish years.
- Arete314159 7y agoI confirm. The stories nowadays about a freak 70 degree January day in Connecticut really boggle my mind. It was rare that the temp got above freezing then when I was a kid. Also we occasionally had sub-zero cold snaps in the negative teens and I don't hear much about those in New England anymore (although to be fair I don't live there now).
