Jesus, the comments here are abysmal from what I can tell.

I'm no doomer, but we need to do something about this, even on the grassroots level.

Yup. Growing up a white Christmas was a given to the extent that the song "dreaming of a white Christmas" made 0 sense to my child brain since of course there would be snow on Christmas! It wasn't unusual to have snow on or before Halloween and it would stay frozen till at least March, sometimes even later! I remember joking that it was really May showers that bring June flowers since it was still snowy in April!

The last few years it's been well into December before the first snow, and it's been a disgusting slushy mess that constantly melts and refreezes making everything a sheet of ice. Walking is dangerous, driving doubly so. We've had rain in January for Christ sake!

Not to mention the apocalyptic wildfires that blanket the entire region with pea soup smoke for days and weeks at a time making even going outside a struggle, let alone working in it
