We have had a very mild fall in terms of weather. We are still awaiting the first killing frost. We just had the first snowflakes on the Kanc. Mount Washington is having a hard time staying white.
Our climate is changing. We can debate the causes, be it human-made or natural cycles, but fall has progressively become warmer over the past 50 years.
