my grandfather used to cross the sava river every winter because it would freeze over every single year when he was young...my mother used to ice skate on the save ariver almost every winter because, when she was a child, it froze over almost every winter...during my life time the river has frozen over only 1 time and it was 38 years ago...that's 3 generations
when I was a kid, my home town had 1.5 meters of snow for about a month and then another month of knee deep snow every year...as a kid I spent almost every winter digging tunnels in the snow that would stay "functional" for weeks...now I'm grown up the snow is a few cm deep for a few days and is gone...once every few years it snows up to the knees for a week and is gone...nothing like before...much shorter and warmer winters...
the summers have always been hot...cant say that its much hotter...but the winters have definitively changed...no doubt at all...
