      A normal winter started in October, maybe mid November, not early January. This was my first brown christmas, and that worries me.

        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.

          I’d rather that not happen.
