      It isn’t even winter yet and we’ve had four good snows already. We were -19c yesterday morning. I’m in southwest Ohio. Barely anyone around here really believes in global warming outside of the Earth’s natural cycles, because it certainly has not gotten hotter here. Yeah I understand global data vs local data but the lived experience is we’re very often below average temperature. Even summer days at the water park, sometimes it’s pretty chilly to be wet in a swimsuit. We’re at the same latitude as Portugal.

        Yeah good for you I guess. I am 23 years old and in my lifetime we went from having at least 50cm of snow each winter to barely getting any at all and if we get it it melts due to rain next day. I mean the local lake used to freeze for people go skate. They even drove cars on it 80 years ago. It has frozen once in the last 10-15 years. I barely remember it freezing when I was little.
