I find with global warming in the past decade or even a bit longer our winters have been less cold and tend to start later. It's still in the positives here, sometimes even double digits. It's like 14C right now, don't even need a coat. Our summer was kind of crap, our best days have been in September-October. I got lucky when I went camping in July though, it was in the 20's most of the time. Hot enough to go swimming.
Back when I was a kid we'd most likely would have had at least a small snow fall by now. And mornings all the roofs would be white from the frost. Don't see mornings like that much anymore, but it still happens. By Halloween we'd have a decent amount of snow on the ground too and had to incorporate our costume on our parka. In past couple years it's like mid December before we have our first snow. Last winter was messy as hell, we'd get snow, then it would melt and rinse and repeat, we never had a proper permanent snow pack. The roads were horrid too because of it. Normally you get a nice solid snow pack and it fills in all the pot holes, but not last year. It was pretty much wash board with jagged ice and stuff.
