Been complaining all winter here that it's to hot, oh wait, there is NO winter here this year :wall:
I wish we had gotten more snow up here this year. As it stands we are probably going to be in a drought. We are like 20 inches below our normal snow fall.. You can wish all you want up this way people. I won't mind... Honestly.

Some of us actually like to have real seasons. I live in Philadelphia. I wish for snow in the winter. I like it cold when it's supposed to be cold. Just the same as in mid summer I would be angry if it was snowing. In my opinion the "stupid weather" is the seventy degrees in February and March. It's very damaging to the ecosystem and who knows what havoc it will reek as it continues.
Frankly I'm a bit put off by so many of us liking the fact that it's so warm when it's not supposed to be. I expect more from intelligent people. Winters in these climates are supposed to be cold. You're not thinking about the drastic impact this is having on things. There could so all sorts of dangers in this - invasive new species, endangerment or even extinction of endemic species, crop failures, wacky heavily damaging storms, floods, droughts, bacterial or fungal issues, new diseases, etc....seriously folks this is not something in which to take pleasure. And speaking for myself, I feel different on a psychological level now that there are no longer the distinctive seasonal changes and crossovers.
I mean what good is the beauty of a coming spring without there having been a long cold winter? And last Halloween's festivities felt so empty on those unusually warm nights. I didn't find it very fun to have to wear a jacket in the middle of June either. And not one real good fun snow day all winter. Boo to it all. I saw a moth flying around the other night. A moth in early March! I wonder what the mosquitoes will be like this year. Screw that!
I want my seasons. If I didn't want them, I'd have moved to Florida a long time ago.

Florida here .We have trees flowering, the cypress trees are green already, and at work I was eating coco plums off the bushes,and having to cut the hedges this time of year is unheard of and thats what i've been doing this past week. I was born down here and I can't ever remember it being THIS warm during the winter. And we've been getting alot of rain but it's the dry season here.
Yep, I want my seasons to....my point was that it was 70 one day and getting snow storms the next, it's stupid!!
LOL, it IS cold, it HAS BEEN cold and it will remain cold here I'm sure well into April
