Fucking climate change...

Without knowing what's normal for the location, this is meaningless.

The other day I got some water in my basement.
We’ve lived here (in this house) 5 years, never had water in our basement. (I’ve lived in the region my whole 38 years)
It was due to the one inch of snow, followed immediately by 4 inches of rain, that came over the course of 24 hours. Thats very edge-case weather for our area, but that’s weather.
Then I got down to cleaning up and I came across my kids sleds. Realized we got them 3 years ago and still haven’t had one good enough snow day to use them. 3 consecutive years without one good snow day has not happened at all in my living memory. Thats climate.
Shits fucked yo.
I remember growing up my parents and their generation always talking about The Blizzard of 78. Always sounded like tall tales. Sledding out of their second or third floor windows because the drifts were that high. But there are pictures to prove it. I don’t think my kids can conceptualize that much snow. It’s like…maybe a couple inches on the ground at a time and usually matted down to slush or ice because the snow turns to freezing rain partway through.
I've also had water in my basement. Haven't had water in my basement in 40 years. It's due to almost continues rain for 3 monthes and all water ways in the region on the verge of overflowing. That's climate change.
That's not that much of a swing, and stuff like this happens every year to be honest. Climate change is real, of course, but lets not water down the valid points with stuff like this.
Yeah, this is really lame.
As one who has studied weather and climate somewhat, this makes total sense. Fucking climate change...
That looks very typical for Virginia in the winter. Sometimes it will be 30 degrees one day and 60 the next.
That last cold front was a bitch. It was 12F (-11C) when I left the house today, yesterday the high was 32F (0C) and tomorrow it's going to be 72F (22C)
I'm in Iowa. Last Saturday and Sunday, highs were below zero wind chills -30 or lower, got 2' of snow, 50mph winds, and there's a chance of rain next week.
Austin?

What would be normal if this isn't? It's cold and sunny, then when it warmed up a bit, it rained. That sounds normal to me
Maybe this person lives in the desert? This looks like normal weather patterns to me too.
I've been in the desert for 10 years and other than the temp, I don't understand how it wouldn't be normal. Is OP expecting it to be cloudy for DAYS before it rains? I don't understand at all.
Lot of people here saying it's normal to go from 2°F min to 43°F min. I don't ever remember that being normal the last 20 years in westen PA. It rarely got that cold here. But these last 8 years it has happened with increasing frequency. It went from fluke, to every other year, to now expecting it every year. Maybe multiple times.
Same here.
Edit: Southwest Germany. It should be -5 to 0 degree.
We went from +5C to -45C in less days than that a couple weeks ago. TBF, -40 is more normal around here than above 0.
Had some ice rain recently. Scared the shit out of some stray cats who've never experienced one.
Looks like Seattle to me.
It never made much sense to begin with in those measuring units anyway.
What'd wrong with it?
This winter in Finland has been amazingly even.
Long, dry, calm -10C. Then some weeks of -30C and -20C and now maybe a little warmer again. Only getting more snow when the weather changed and it was windy for a few days. A few wet days at some point.
Pretty ordinary weather over all, but just kind of strangely steady.
I live on the edge of a mild desert and it's pretty swingy like this.
