Many of my childhood memories of Halloween include snow. I'm in lower middle of Sweden, now its rare to see any snow before the end of December.
In Texas, we've actually seen more snow the last 5 years than the previous 20, but also more extreme heat. It's just extremes all around.
Our weather comes in the form of months-long heatwaves and droughts, isolated severe floods that saturate the ground and wash downstream instead of replenishing aquifers, and the annual extreme cold snap in February.
"Everything is bigger in texas." holds true, even for weather swings.
Oh yeah, it's just not warmer for longer. I was just thinking about adding stuff about this to the previous comment.
The past decade it's been increasingly common with what seems like an extreme early winter, full blizzard for about a week in early October and then it's like the weather goes "nah, I'll give you some more summer" and it's barely fall season till early november.
It really shows how fucked everything already is when it's generally much warmer for longer here and much colder for longer for you in Texas, with episodes for both of what I've started calling "extreme bipolar weather".
And I know neither of us are experiencing the real extremes that are happening in many places around the world, an increasing and already scary amount of people are dying every year from all the crazy shit going on with the environment. Heat strokes, hypothermia, floods, drought etc. and it's not even close to how bad it will get in our lifetimes.
It's fucking scary, and a completely valid reason to hate humanity and society as it is (and has been for a long time).
