This winter (the season not the me) has been unseasonably and terrifyingly warm, like it's 10 degrees (Celsius sorry Americans) out today and I'm reminded of an article I read in the news a couple years ago about how Canada was baking at twice the rate as the rest of the world and go 👁️👄👁️. In my youth snow where I live would be probably a foot high in the lowest snow areas of snow drifts and up to my waist (in adult height) in the high parts, and every year I see less and less snow ☠️☠️☠️

On one hand despite my namesake I actually loathe the season winter, I'm extremely sensitive to the cold and getting brain freeze because the wind is blowing against the direction you're walking in sucks booty hole. But like NO snow is extremely bad. VERY bad. Do not like living out the consequences of climate change because uh. Canada just does not seem to have winters like it used to and hasn't in years. It's like watching all the corn crops stop growing like they used to because the summers are so much dryer and hotter with the exception of last summer, which was almost wet enough to kill the corn with that. But they survived and grew bushy like they used to and it was kind of terrifying to acknowledge I hadn't seen a crop that good in years.

#winters ramblings #on one hand it genuinely is SO NICE to not deal with snow seriously it is SO inconvenient #beautiful to look at for sure REALLY stunning when its not literally blinding you but omG snow on roads #in the cities where i live leave HUGE slush puddles and the snow is so MUSHY and WET from cars #pulverizing it to a fine icy slush ready to SOAK your feet in freezing water. shit is inconvenience powder #but the environment is in NEED of the snow that is how this country works environmentally NORMALLY #but no now we have consistently spring weather and ever less snowy winters #although we did have a shitty winter a couple years ago but thats not exacy indicive of much when it goes against prior patterns #and also that shitty winter STILL wasnt the winters of my childhood. the snow was ABSURD then #and yes its because drifts were the size of ME but even the massive piles of snow plowed from side walks are so much smaller #IF theres snow pules at all weve BARELY got snow this year and none of it stuck!!#like damn its been gone long enough ill miss it exactly until i have to walk to a bus stop in it #when i was 13 ill never forget my parents making me return a movie in a snow storm and it took me FORTY MINUTES #to complete this task because the snow NO JOKE was up to my wasit the whole way and i was my full 5'6 then #the snow was HORRIBLE. and for reference how long it USUALLY takes me to walk uptown and back?#roughly 15 minutes round trip so it took longer to walk ONE WAY than it took me to do a round trip no snow #and thats the last time i remember having a REALLY bad winter on account of walking to school was ALSO hell if the sidewalk #wasnt already plowed and usually only the main streets got that and i was Middle Street so id be done when id be going HOME #but not when i was going TO school. that winter blew ASS butlike it was normal bring them back 😭😭
