Where I am, I feel like we barely have any kind of fall season anymore. It seems to go straight from a long-ass summer to a mild winter, like Halloween is regularly in the 70s or 80s even. Fall used to be my favorite season but I think it's probably winter now due to it being the only time of year it is actually kind of cold.
Winter is pretty sad, now. The stores around here just stopped selling sleds because there's never much snow, or it hits the ground and melts. So it's just dreary cold and grey and mud for about 5 months and then finally spring shows up, but not before faking you out a couple times so you get caught in the cold without a coat at least once.
Spring doesn't really show up either. It's like 30s/40s, then 80s.
Then winter, yeah. Really bad snow when it comes then melted after two days. We didn't even have piles in the parking lots anywhere.
I feel like some of the "global warming is a hoax" types have started talking a little quieter since the truth has been cockslapping them in the face for what, twenty years now? It's probably wishful thinking, but they aren't laughing it off quite so easily now that they haven't seen an unbroken month of snowfall in a dog's age.
Nah, they still talk just as loudly as ever. They just transitioned to wanting to kill trans people.
