We had two measurable snowfalls last winter, and the snow did not stick around. It rarely got colder than the 20s. Back in the day, I used to make an ice rink in the backyard each year. That became impossible long ago. Never stays cold enough long enough.
Summer (fires, evacuations, smoke) and winter (shoveling snow, hauling wood) are the longest seasons of the year, regardless of what the calendar shows!
Well, it is true. The longer you live the less a year represents a percentage of your life. At 10 a year is one tenth of your life, at 50 it is only 1/50th of your life, so it goes by 5 times as fast.
when you get to the end, the end rushes towards you in greeting. most of us have the problem that the end is going so fast it can’t slow down in time and we are simply run over by the laws of physics. thus the end of all things physical and the only thing left is the willingness of the spirit. sadly in some, even the spirit has been beat out of them.
Ohhhhhhhj… Greta Turdburglar and the other Liberal Global Warming…The Count means Climate Change…Looney Toons will be all over this one. They might even turn it into an inane dumb asp question in a debate. Or two. God Bless America.
in Florida winter is summer, and not having to do with climate change, and Tampa had a new high yesterday 94, guess when the record was last on that day 1959
As you get older it’s not just the summer seasons that go by faster, it is the years and decades which seem to zip past you with alarming speed.
All of a sudden you find yourself in your later years and wondering just where did all that time go.
Then you get chilling reminders of your mortality when your health begins to fail and you inevitably start ponder just how many more years you have left to live, it’s very unsettling indeed.
Or upper Midwest. Former Chief Operator in Superior WI told a story of requiring snow mobile to get to work, and one morning opened her home door to see it completely blocked with snow. In another adventure, I had to fly to 1978’s Boston and east coast blizzard snow mountains with special permission to pass through National Guard sealed routes and they aimed ARs at us.
I respectfully disagree. The older I get, the more I am affected by heat sickness. So, of course, summer is getting longer and hotter.Climate change, anyone?

I like Spring and Fall which always seem disappear fast. I’m averse to Winter and Summer. They’re killers in many ways, especially utility bills!

One reason time seems to go faster as we age is this: at 10 years old, one year is 10% of your life; at 50 years old one year is only 2% of your life.
