It used to snow as late as April in southern Kanto (Tokyo metro area) back in the early 2010s, sometimes leaving several cm on the ground for days.
I spent last winter in northern Kanto and it only flurried a couple of times.

Same deal with Lake Placid, NY and Hakuba, Nagano, you ask anyone who’s been in a snow area since the 70s about how impassible people’s yards became from the snow when they were in their 20s. At least Sapporo got snow this year.
I live in the arctic, we had 3 weeks over 30c this summer.
The first two weeks of September were all over 20c. Normal high for these two weeks is 8.8c.
Snow would usually sit around until late April/ early May. The last 4-5 years it’s been gone early April at the latest.
When I lived in the NE US in the ‘00s it would snow so much the airports would shut down for a day. Piles of snow would last well into spring. Last time I was there it snowed maybe a total of a foot for the entire winter for a couple years running. All those winter scenes in film, or even Currier and Ives prints from the turn of the last century are the only context that it used to actually snow and stay covered for months at a time.
!RemindMe 2035
What’s winter ?
The time when stuff is really dry bevause nestle cloud seeds over their collectors, but it’s not all hot enough to reach its flash point. Until the big fire (that’s usually ‘spring’)
MRGA guy on the right
brace yourself, winter debate is coming
God, I remember when that meme was so fun to use.
Do you remember the seasons, Mr. Frodo? It’ll be winter soon. […] and eating the first of the snow with the yellow colour. Do you remember the taste of yellow snow?
In the beginning, autumn and spring duration were 13 weeks. Then six, then three weeks. The last autumn lasted for a week. In next year it will be four days, we could be seeing a summer and winter transition in eight hours, until they switch in four minutes.
why 2034 we already barely have snow
Already happening here, I mean no snow in winter :3
Clouds.
I just respond “ur mum”
If amoc shuts down we’ll (nordics) have a Siberian climate.
Honestly its ridiculous how people act today.
How come you can makum snowballs in summertime?

It’s just two AI chatbots posting to a dead internet, on a dead planet, hours before the last bit of electricity is consumed by their mainframes and a rack mining crypto.

There’s a ray Bradbury story that’s kind of similar.
