Many of my childhood memories of Halloween include snow. I'm in lower middle of Sweden, now its rare to see any snow before the end of December.

I am 53 and that was not my experience at all. Every Halloween was hot and I use to sweat in my costume, especially under those cheap plastic masks.

Maybe the fact that I grew up in the Carribean has something to do with it. Who knows? It's a mystery.

Yeah, it used to snow here on Halloween now and then. Haven't seen a Halloween snow since a bit before COVID, iirc.

I dressed like a Hobo. Very practical in cold temperatures.

I want to say probably for around the past 5-7 years, it's been ~60-70 degrees F within a few days of Christmas. One year I literally went out on Christmas day without a jacket because it was mid 70's. Definitely never had that when I was younger.

Over not under?

I grew up in Ohio in the '70s. We would get our first snow in late September and by the end of October the ground would have permanent snow cover. We wouldn't see grass again until some time in April with the last snow coming in May. The giant mounds of plowed snow would last into June. It's hard for me to even imagine a six-month Winter now, but that's what we got.

In Summer the "heat wave" was when it got to 85°F during the day.

I remember as a kid making a Wolverine costume. This is way before Hugh Jackman too so we used s yellow sweatshirt with like blue felt or some blue cloth I think. It's been a long time so I don't quite recall all the details . But I remember it was made out of a sweatshirt. And I trick or treated in it fine. It was comfortable. These days I don't even get my sweatshirts out of storage until January, late January. Maybe get to wear them for 3 weeks.

As someone living in Canada, I cannot relate.

I remember this. Even in Florida where I grew up. Now I understand people are in their shorts mowing their yard on Christmas Day.

We are lucky here I guess? It was 29 this morning and climbed up to a warm 70 for a couple of hours. Not looking forward to my heating bill.

I ain’t gonna lie it’s been hot in October since I moved to Texas in 2000. If anything its colder now than it used to be to be. It didn’t get cold until late November early December and now we have some cold fronts here and there that give us phenomenal weather starting in October.
