Too bad you can't go skiing, but I'm a bit more worried about plant and wildlife that "thinks" it's spring and then will get killed when it gets cold again later.

Of course. And I also know a single instance isn't proof of climate change. But I wanted to point out / rant about how the winters have changed over time here. It's sad.

And summers hotter than ever. Have had to buy AC, as if we're in Southern Europe.

Just interested in what temperatures have risen to that you need an AC?

I also understand that buildings in normally colder climates are optimised to keep warm so that if things get hotter in general they are not going to cope well so an AC may well be necessary at temperatures that in other regions would be considered relatively cool.

That would be my worry too! I wonder if the next step is to figure out if there's any sort of regularity of the newer climate and to find plants that might be able to support those time cycles..
