It's hard not to get both sad and angry when you look at average snowpack numbers over the last two decades. I'm fairly certain gen alpha will be the last to experience the type of winter conditions we've grown to expect as "regular".

As the climate heats up and winter become shorter, less predictable, and more violent due to the unstable polar vortex, we'll come to sorely miss the defining characteristics of it. We can't ignore the cultural impact winter has on lots of places (such as Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, and many places in the US) and I'm quite sure it'll have more than just ecological and employment impacts to these regions.
