Related: About this forumWe have had strong winds most of the winter and I am curious of whether this relates to climate change
Had a warm winter, not much snow but I was kept from walking outside because of the gusting wind.
Is this a manifestation of the climate change? At least we were spared all the massive storms of the south.

Where I live. And, you are correct. Its been all winter long. My dog has lost her ability to blink her eyes on her own. So, Ive hardly been able to walk her for months.

the wind is howling and it is hailing.
My grandma told me to wash my face in hailstones when I was a little boy and I wouldn't get wrinkles.
I tried it, maybe didn't use enough hail?

I cannot recall in the past 60 years I've lived here that we've had anything sustained like it has been in the past three. I'm personally convinced it's climate change. FWIW.
