    warm, wet winters make me really grumpy… i need brutal cold and fresh, clean air from the North Pole… when it’s warm and wet, the air is always humid, so it just gets foggy and the rain just makes mud everywhere… i hate warm winters…

      It’s horrible! It snows infrequently and then it melts after a day or two. It shocks me that there are still people who don’t think the Earth is warming.

      Right there with ya. This spring, I moved an hour or so north-northwest, though my primary motivation was escaping the political climate I had been in. Expected to get more wintry winters as part of the deal as well. That seems not to be happening, to say the least. We’ll be in the 70s and possibly 80s until at least Thursday, and I don’t hold out much hope for it to cool down meaningfully.
