@Elinkster The people who have lived in this area for a long time will tell you that we are getting less and less snow every year. It'll be interesting to see how these changes affect our agriculture, infrastructure, and weather-dependent industries over the next couple of decades. I'm already designing infrastructure for 500 yr storms instead of 100 yr storms. But I think our agriculture and industry may be slower to accept and adapt to the changes.

@Foxthorn very interesting. You are right about slow adaptive changes. I think most are still in disbelief.

@Elinkster I would agree with you. Our Ag industry worries me the most. My grandpa was a farmer and they are a stubborn lot. Then again they are somewhat on the front line and there's really only so long you can ignore the facts when they're slapping you in the face on a daily basis (or so I tell myself).

@GrandmaJ at least my okra seems to be happy about this heat. I'm not so sure about my squash.
