Dunno where you are, but i’m high desert. Brown christmas and a january ass kicking is pretty standard, admittedly seemingly more common when i was younger. . Even half of canada gets a brown christmas every ten years or so, pretty much on this pattern.
Smack in the middle of Canada, winters colder than Alaska, summers nearly as warm as Hawai’i. We already get very little rain, and like the rest of the Great Plains, we’re on track to being a desert (temperate in our case). We already lost most of our topsoil in the dirty 30s, and there’s plenty of sand just below in the glacial till.
These aren’t records, fuck off. “OMG MINUS 38 WINDCHILL MINUS 52” It used to be 50 on a calm day these areas, mid january, dead calm. There’s a sensationalist aspect occurring over what people old enough recognize as normal weather.
I don’t know about you guys but I found that commenting or posting on Lemmy is a bit of a harder job from Mastodon. That’s why I created a Lemmy account. Maybe I missed something but that’s what I found.
