I have nothing scientific to add but as a native Mainer I can see how it has changed, the weather patterns. A 50 degree day in December isn’t a gift it’s a warning

Just said this myself. After my house got a cold all Xmas vaca, I was so grateful to air out the house. Then, of course, reality made its way &I realized I'm not so grateful, but more concerned. So worried for our upcoming generations. Everyone should be, especially us younger adults.

This. I’m only in my 30s but as a kid winters were far colder and warm days far rarer.

Even my winters growing up in West Virginia were colder and snowier than the ones I'm experiencing in Maine now. The wind storms of the past ~5-6 years also give me anxiety between the power outages and the trees falling.
