Anyone else notice that our winters don't suck as much lately as they did in the 90s?
I remember when I was growing up, winter would be on in full force by Halloween. I never used to go trick or treating without my winter parka, and that would ruin my costume most of the time. A ninja turtle with a giant parka on is just not a good look. Similarly, the outdoor rinks would be fully functional from October until the end of April.
Now, most of the time, I can go out with just a sweater or hoody on in late October and we're lucky if we get outdoor hockey for 6 weeks from January to mid February.
