Over the last 10yrs there have been so many signs of climate change, and certain weather patterns like La Nina, and El Nino have become more diluted.
We just don't get the cold winters we had 30-50 yrs ago. Instead we get micro winter events, like the foot of snow across DFW in 2010, the arctic freeze in 2021, as examples. Our winters in this region have become less intense and sustainable (gets cold for 3 to 7 days and warms right back up)
So unless you're ready to move to a more winter friendly location, you are just going to have to enjoy the occasional winter we get here in North Texas, and hope those models pan out for us.
I agree that winters aren't like they used to be. I would hate to live in an area where you literally have no chance at winter weather ever. I know we will never see alot of snow and that's how it is because of many different things, but I like our opportunity when we get them.
