If you've lived long, have you noticed a shift in the weather patterns in your area? If, so, please describe.

As a kid, back in the 1960's snow fell and stayed for weeks, if not months on end. Now we hardly see any. Even 20 - 30 years ago as my kids were growing up there would be lots of snow days. I'd be shovelling snow for days on end. And back then we d have a holiday every October (school holidays). And once home the heating was on pretty much full on, and stayed like that until March - April. Past five years or so heating goes on much later, goes off much sooner and is constantly being turned up or down. Also, due to storms, I've had to have my garden fence repaired / replaced three times in about the same period having not had that issue in the previous 28 yesrs.
Climate change is real, it's already here and it's one of the main reasons for immigration, both legal and illegal.
