          Yep, in the most unlikely of places too. Remember when the polar vortex collapsed in 2021 bringing Arctic air as far south as Mexico? Over 200 people in Texas died as a result of the frigid cold. I highly doubt they fortified their energy grid enough to properly mitigate a repeat event.

            Rhetorical fodder for grillman too. "I brought a snowball into a congressional building. Climate change don't real. Checkmate."

        When the lake used to freeze, people would dance on the ice wearing boots with tiny swords. And fall in love.

            It's been noticable just in my life time. Growing up we'd have snow before Halloween half the time, and the song "dreaming of a white Christmas" never made sense because obviously you'd have plenty of snow by Christmas. Now the snow comes later and later each year, and I fully expect a snowless Christmas before this decade is out

              The older grillman that I know still have a vicious hatred of cold weather and say they wish the "climate change hoax" was real because they hate snow that much.

              I live in California. They still hate the concept of snow. what-the-hell
