This 40-50 degree highs every day of January just didn’t use to happen here. I remember having a week of school cancelled because it was too cold to have kids wait for the bus. the highs were in the single digits with wind chill well into negatives. School cancelled because pipes burst everywhere.

On another note, I’d remember every spring when you could finally use the fields again. We wouldn’t see grass from December until at least the middle of March.

I hate this blah overcast, 45 degree shit. It’s going to stay like this until may too. That’s the depressing part. At least I used to be able to make epic snow forts and sled and snowboard in a lot of snow. Now that I’m adult it’s just convenient for it to not be snowing. People are going to forget how to live in the extreme cold And snow pretty quickly. Kids growing up here today have a totally different climate than I had here growing up 20 years ago

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and remember literally jumping off the roof of our one story house into the snow all the time - it was a yearly tradition.

My own kids the other day were outside playing in the mud…
