www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/02/12/global-warming-climate-change-shift-climates-south/2847860002/Lucky New Yorkers! Get to go barefoot, grow watermelons, cantaloupes, okra and decent tasting tomatos. Grow the kind of peppers you need to put on big girl panties to eat. Catch blue catfish and crawfish. And rice, rice, rice! Man, that kind of gumbo just makes your heart want to sing. There'll be so much fried chicken you'll think you've died and gone to heaven. With all that people might even start acting nice to each other. When you go swimming you won't remind people of the Pillsbury Dough Boy! Yet most of them want to spend all kinds of money just so they can keep shoveling snow.

My husband was talking about that article yesterday. Of course, my first reply was "you do realize we're not going to be around in 2080, don't you?". Basically warmer and wetter for is the forecast for where we live. Which, come to think of it, has been a common weather theme for our area lately. The drought years of the 1990's - early 2000's are a fast fading memory.
Snow in Hawaii - okay, I'll confess - it's my fault. I have this sterling talent for bringing bad weather to places I visit, or in cases like this, even just PLAN to visit. And our family is planning a Hawaii trip for next winter...

We do have to remember this is brought to us by people who can't tell us with any accuracy what the weather will do tomorrow!
My DDs sister in law and her DH bought a house three rows from the gulf on Galvaston island about 25 years ago. According to the climate change people they would have gulf front property by 2025 or so. So far nothing has changed, they are not any closer to the beach yet.
