Where I live, there are 4 kinds of weather that are unique to each of the 4 seasons.
Spring: hail
Summer: thunderstorm
Fall: strong winds
Winter: snow
So I consider today to be the first day of spring. I don't care what the calendar says. The seasons aren't a period of time, they're a pattern of weather and temperature.
Every year Summer gets wider, and winter gets narrower. Spring and Fall get pushed into where winter used to be. They're probably shrinking too.
When I was a child, the seasons were even. Global warming was still a known problem back then, but it's gotten much more dramatic in the past few years.
I think maybe a 5th season has formed. A Hypersummer. No thunder clouds can form in Hypersummer, because it's weather is ash.
In spite of how I might sound at times, I have not given up. There is nothing that can be done that can not be undone. We can fix this, and we will.
