    Usually around this time of year we would have had our first snow, but we haven't even had our first frost yet. It's been like this for over a decade now.

    I know climate change has much, much worse consequences, but the fact that people are ignoring these very obvious signs happening right in their own cities worries me a bit.

      same here in southern Ohio

      we used to reliably have frost in late September and early October and snow in October. there was a year when I was a kid when we got a few inches the first weekend of October! I remember it clearly because of a festival it ruined.

      Where I'm at, it would rain and snow this time of year when I was little in the 90s. We're almost in November and it's rained maaaybe half a dozen times since August? It's also still 70~90° weather.

      Totally normal to have what used to be a summer climate during Halloween.

        Precipitation is modelled to go up a lot almost everywhere, but with significantly higher variability (i.e.: drought to floods)
