Still haven’t been below freezing, no frost, long sleeve t shirt to hunt, volunteer corn and beans popping. Cut the grass yesterday in shorts and the fescue was so lush it kept bogging down the mower. It’s odd

For most of the years of my life, Halloween was always a COLD day. Several hard frosts had taken place by then, temps were usually in the low 40's, and kids bundled up for trick-or-treating. For several years now, it's been pretty warm, so my wife and I sit out in lawn chairs to greet the neighborhood kids as they show up in costumes. This year it was mid 70's and we were in T-shirts in the evening. As a kid, I wore long underwear under my costume, and gloves because it was so cold, my fingers hurt holding my treats bag. No more ..........
Wife's flowers are still making new blooms, neighbors are still mowing their lawns.

Said this in an earlier post but my dad said in the early 80’s they would snowmobile from November to March outside of the Twin cities. Bet people couldn’t find 2 weeks to sled there now

Here's one for ya - I just looked out the window to check out some birds in our Profusion crab apple tree. Without hunting too hard, I discovered 6 NEW blossoms starting to open up!!! Can't miss 'em - they're bright pinkish-red.
Probably because of changes in land use. There was a study a few years ago that showed that the human memory can only accurately recall weather up to 3 years past, then it was garbage. I know that first hand, but I can accurately recall the past several ENSO cycles because we always remember the big events. Flooding and drought is normal.
We already hit single digits for lows, but last year I had not even fired up the woodstove by this time. I must be paying too much in taxes.
