This has puzzled and had me thinking for some time now....

Am I wrong? Am I seeing things? I do not know, so I am hoping you can agree or disagree with me on this....

I live and have lived in Northern England all my life.

Over the last few years I have noticed that trees are generally not losing the last of their leaves until November. I am sure that in the 80s trees were leafless come October.
This lead me to notice that Autumn does not properly kick in until October, whereas memory tells me it was August.
August now is the hottest month of the year. Snow arrives in March....

I am imagining things or are the season's moving and altering in duration?

If I am mad...... I can handle that..... it's not knowing

Regards

Seems like they are/have been for years to me... have been saying for a while "May showers bring June flowers". I think I started noticing it in the late 80's early 90's.

Only thing is, I keep thinking it's just me. Not that I talk to alot of *Farmers*, but I haven't really heard any of the ones I do talk to say anything about having to change because of season. It's usually something more immediate they're dealing with. Then again, I haven't really Asked them either so....

That and the "sense of urgency" I feel at times... I think I recognize that "sense of urgency" in others... but I don't think many recognize it and how it... elevates/escalates... things... It's a more individual thing but very similar to another aspect that people Do talk about refering to it by words like "the quickening". But um... that's another topic. (edit: but I think they're related... possibly whatever might be changing season might be changing an electric or magnetic field producing that "sense of urgency"... or something... I dunno)

It is happening here in the Southern USA very noticably.
My pear trees went into full bloom twice in a year when they should only have done it once.
The first bloom was in December and the next four months later in May when they usually bloom. Some of my flowers did the same thing at the same times.

It was discomforting to see as I had not seen this happen to that extent ever before.
In the past when there was just a little winter bloom, the next summer had terrible hurricanes.
So far everthing has been ok weather wise, but I will breathe easier once August is safely past. I know something has changed, and I am suspecting it means the targets of hurricanes may have shifted north, and the yankees do not know how to deal with those at all from what I can tell.

hahaha i was just looking at a picture of me when i was small..i was holding up a sign in the snow saying....april 21 - still snowing...and usually its supposed to be raining...so im guessing it might...but seasons are time segments...and it prolly wont change...but weather can...for example...if it snows in fall...we say it is snowing in "fall" because fall is the time period...we dont say...oh its cold..so it must be winter...but we do say it feels like winter

I live in ND. Summers are usually blasted hot and winters are painful. Like multiple feet of snow on the ground and 20-30 below. But lately in the past few years the winters have been extrememly mild and summers not so hot. Until this year. This summer has been hot but it has been hot all over. Now this past winter it was damned nice. 30-40's all winter until march. That's when it got "normal" 10-25 below lows and 0-10 above highs. But that lasted only 3 weeks. Whereas it was supposed to be like that all winter through mid April. So yes I have noticed it as well.

Sorry to bring up a week old post

If only more people read through older threads before posting....

Reading through my usual on-line journals I came across this link -

What we have all been noticing is being recognised
