When I was a kid it wasn't uncommon to get out first days of below freezing weather in October

Last October I wore a sweater only a couple times (edit: by only a couple times I mean it was so warm I was wearing a T-shirt the rest of the month)

This year it's barely dipped below freezing except for the week we had an ice strom this year

Until I was about 7 it was common to get snow before Christmas and often times as early as Thanksgiving

Nowadays the song "White Christmas" does feel like a dream of a bygone era
