I have lived in Colorado my whole life for better or worse.
Seen the coldest days dissapear in the late 1990's
I remember my brother and I waiting up all night watching a thermometer mounted on the outside of the window and watching how low it is.
then we would bust out in the back yard into the snow and go crazy in the -25F snow.
That happened a few nights a year. Now, nothing.
The coldest areas are never cold now. and Hot areas are hotter. My parents live in a town that is habitually 6F higher than ... anywhere around. And last summer there it was 107F which is very hot for here.
When I was a kid, every week, we had about 3 days where storms would roll in at 2 to 3 pm and cool us off. NOPE.
blue dry cloudlesss skies all day every day. UV index of 9, burn baby burn
plants won't thrive like they used to. Things get bleached.
Climate changed.
