    To add to the list:

    Here in the Northeastern US, weather patterns seems to shift forward. It stays hot till October. Even November might have a few summer-like warm days. And “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” is ironic since there was snow on Christmas only 2-3 times out of last 10 years or so. Snow comes in mid-January

      This 100% tracks with my experience in the northeast US. It wasn’t like this when I was a kid in the 90s. Having a “white Christmas” wasn’t common, but it did happen sometimes.

      Nowadays Christmas tends to average around 50°F/10°C where I am. If there’s snow before January, it’s a brief flurry that either doesn’t stick or changes into rain. My nephews have never known a snowy Christmas.
