The other night my next door neighbor was riding his motorcycle home from work, it was 55 out and the day before broke an all time high temperature record of 63 degrees!
For the last five years the ponds in town haven’t frozen over thick enough to support skaters.
I was going to have a couple of trees cut down last winter but we never had enough frost to support trucks on my lawn.
Tornadoes in Decembers.
Ticks that were only found in the south are now making their way to Connecticut and we haven’t had a string of sub-zero weather to kill off the insects.
The good news is that I use less heating oil and contribute less CO2
Since 1980s US chances of a white Christmas melt a bit
By Seth Borenstein

A white Christmas seems to be slowly morphing from a reliable reality to a dream of snowy holidays past for large swaths of the United States in recent decades.
Analysis of 40 years of December 25 U.S. snow measurements shows that less of the country now has snow for Christmas than in the 1980s.
That’s especially true in a belt across the nation’s midsection — from Baltimore to Denver and a few hundred miles farther north. And snow that falls doesn’t measure up to past depths.
We still get blizzards but the snow doesn’t stick around.
It is not going out on a limb to say… “Global Warming!”
