I'm glad I'm old enough that I remember much more seasonally appropriate weather, if nothing else. It was really snowy in December when I was a kid in the 1980s and I think I only saw one green Christmas that whole time, while green Christmas is just normal now. We also didn't have air conditioning until I was in my teens, because Canada had cooler summers, and for the odd hot night you'd just sleep in the basement. Eventually we moved to a house that had central air, but I don't remember needing it the way we have the last 20 years.

I don't have air conditioning now, but it hasn't been a bad summer in Ontario so far heat wise, somehow we're missing the big heat waves everyone else is getting. I'm lucky I get a lot of tree shade.

I remember one white Christmas when I was a kid in the 90s since then it's never snowed.
