I was born in the US South. My parents still live there. I moved away as soon as I could. When asked where I'm from I usually said/say Oregon b/c that's where I spent most of my adult life (altho now maybe I'm 'from' here 🤷).

Anyway, when I was a kid it would snow where we lived at least once a year, sometimes more. Often enough for a couple of days of sledding and school closures. Nowadays, as the climate has changed, it almost never snows there.

Seeing pics today from my mom showing snow at my childhood home is wild. Almost surreal. It's been decades since I saw it like this.

There was no point to this story. Sorry. 😄

@tankgrrl Meanwhile I live not far from my yout', and we used to be BURIED in snow from mid-October to March, schools never closed because we're used to it but you'd go outside and could flop into the snow and be lost until Spring.

It's currently 51°F, the grass (!) is green, sure my flowerbeds are dead but it could be early fall. We had some cold and a few inches of snow. All gone now.

So far past fucked I can't even see it from here.

@mdhughes 100% accurate, no notes.
