Truth from an actual born and bred Vermonter

I’m taking the over!

Downvoted here. Disappointed yet unsurprised that another Thanksgiving has come and I still can't snowshoe. 20 years ago the snow was a lot more consistent at end of November

I'll second that from a born n bred vermonter.

The bot will take care of it at some point.

Wait until billions of people are displaced. Wait until we have mass famines. I know this is a shit post, but you have no idea what’s coming in the next couple of decades.

Guess what happens when we get a blue ocean event. Guess what happens when the AMOC stops and jet stream collapses. Guess what happens when the tundra thaws and we get peat fires that never go out. Guess what happens when the ocean acidifies and it releases billions of tons of Greenhouse gasses.

That’s our future. Glad you’re enjoying the weather.

I've been burning tires and garbage for years in VT. You can thank me now.

I disagree. Consistent snow and cold temps are one thing. The insane temp swings we are having due to climate change - 40 degrees and rain then drops to -15 in a couple hours, are much harder to deal with and way more stressful on infrastructure and animals. Not to mention big rain events, drought, end of reliable snowpack for the resorts, food system disruption. It’s bad…

It's more likely a result of being in an extended La Nina cycle. This is only the third time in the last hundred years that La Nina has gone 3 years. This winter will likely be a bit warm and wet, but the conventional wisdom is that we'll head back into El Nino next year. Not that climate isn't a long-term factor, but variation on the scale of just a few years is generally more attributable to other things.

I warm my car up in the summer.
