Middle East winter is likely closer to what we have for early fall. Which is not by far as depressing as this Silent Hill-ass shit.

The current weather in central Europe is more of an exception. Like sure, we still have snow from time to time, and these past few weeks there was far more snow than usual, but still we're around 2° above preindustrial average temperatures.
Since 2000 in particular central Europe has warmed enough that most regions don't stay below 0° anymore, which leads to far less snow. These past few years we really didn't have much snow.

Yeah like I said, we have really low temperatures sometimes, but on average the temperatures have been too high for snow and we're having far less snow than what we used to have.

u/hockhike Dec 09 '23 edited Dec 09 '23
Good news, from when I was a kid to now I've gone from shovelling snow sometimes on a weekly basis for a couple of months to instead maybe twice an entire year.
I'm glad you're insulated from the more extreme localized climate change events but where I live apparently we're dealing with the changes at twice the rate of most other places.
I can tell you my personal experience jives with what the data suggests. And that jives with what I've talked about with people older than myself.

Grew up near dayton. As a kid i remember like 8 in deep snow that froze on top strong enough to support my kid body. Never saw that again in my yard. Went to family house 1 hr north in winter one time and we could not park in the driveway. When the snow was finally shoveled to the side this, one car driveway made mounds of snow to the side that i only see now when they plow a fucking parking lot of krogers or some shit.

My driveway is a 10o grade. I literally can't shovel it, and even my 4x4 truck with good tires can barely get in and out of it. We still get snow constantly, despite what Reddit says. I feel cheated, I hate winter.

u/30BlueRailroad Dec 09 '23
Grew up in the tristate area NE US. Used to snow regularly when I was a kid late 90s through early 00s. I remember having at LEAST a couple snow days a year. When I taught at a special needs school in 2017 I remember having like 4 snow days in a row. I swear for the last 3 years, I cannot remember there ever being a significant amount of snowfall. We maybe got 2 inches once. Last winter I vividly remember there not being a single fucking day we got snow that really stuck at all, usually just light flurries after news weathermen threatening blizzards. It's so surreal to see the difference. Used to be able to build snow men and had to shovel for hours as a teen.

u/Kiyan1159 Dec 10 '23
Use to be we'd have snow in October regularly. Sometimes it would melt away by November before coming back. Now it's regular for us to only get snow that stays by the end of December, usually January.
It use to stick around until April. Now it's gone mid-March.
I miss the long snowy seasons.

Czechia, it's true that there used to be more snow 10 years ago, but I'd say we got more than enough. Not that I'm denying climate change.

Sadly here in Hungary, outside of the mountainous areas, snow is but a distant memory. There was a winter a good... 6 years ago, I guess, when, bordering am iracle, we had snow for like 2-3 weeks. That's it.

In Iowa they talk about snow drifts as high as the the telephone poles back in the day. I have seen something close to that back in 2006. Worst I seen since is about 4 feet on gravel road intersections. We had temperatures in the 50's this year until late November. Shit is changing for sure, and I don't like it.

Nah, I agree with OP, I live in Midwest Canada, usually our winters are around -30-40 Celsius, sometimes we even hit -50. But this year and the year before, it has been unnaturally warm, next week is going to be in the positives and a couple of days ago I saw it rain in December for the first time in my life, shit's almost scary
I can even see full lawns and grass still which usually is hidden by snow as early as October

u/Whites11783 Dec 09 '23
This thread is crazy. I live in Michigan. When I grew up here, every winter had snow starting in November consistently through March. Now we rarely have snow before January, and in smaller amounts.
I don’t know if this thread is just full of people who are under 20 years old and therefore don’t know any different, or if people really don’t understand that there has been a shift in the climate over the past decades which has had an effect on the amount of snow that areas previously had compared to now.

I like winter because 1. even with climate change, it's still colder than the other seasons so I can get comfy in thick clothes and blankets and 2. no god damn bugs or pollen harassing me outside. Snow is a nice bonus but I honestly stopped caring outside of days off

People who like winter don't live somewhere that's really cold or gets dark at 4 in the afternoon. I can deal with the cold, it's the fact that it's dark when I wake up and it's dark when I get back home. Can't do shit outside.

u/Doomerrant Dec 09 '23
This is the 5th season between fall and winter called "Shit."
It's rainy, it's muddy, it's cold, the winds are constantly blowing, there's still fucking leaves everywhere, and occasionally it'll just get real cold outta nowhere and freeze everything for a few days. Not quite cold enough for all the bugs to fuck off, but enough to not want to go outside very much. Always dick tickling you with the impression it's cold enough to snow, but no, it's just more freezing, miserable rain.
Hate it.

Seen alot people in the comments shitting "Oh we still have snow here, what are you talking about?" Mostly from northern countries. And even some of those fuckwads say, yeah we still have snow, even tho its less than before, but we still have snow.... Fucking morons....
OP i get you.
Im from Croatia. We had snow every winter when i was a kid (And epic snow blizzard stories from our parents stories) . With years passing less and less. Last year was the first year we didnt have any. And just to explain to the morons, we did have snow in parts of Croatia, lot less, and none in my part.
I fucking hate the winter, snow is the only thing that made it bareable. Even tho i dont even ski or sled anymore as an adult....
Winter now is just a cold dark shit.

Op and me are neighbouring countries, and he is even more northern than me. And like i said, we had snow in my city since we were recording the weather centuries ago until now. Last year was the first zero snow. Last decade had less snow combined that year 2012

Let me paint a picture for you:
You are a kid. You build snowmen, sled, have white christmas, build snow castles, snowball, amke snow angels . Its shitty in the cold, but you are still out side, playing, enjoying the shit out of it. Even tho its night the whiteness of the snow and reflection illuminates the night. It has a special, beautifull, smell.As an adult, i stopped doing 90% of those things, but every time it snowed i was happy.
Now, all i get is dark at 4pm, cold, and damp weather....
