Anywhere else way warmer than it should be?

I live in the foothills of the Gila National Forest in New Mexico and we’ve been about ten degrees above normal this fall. We’re having temperatures of 86 degrees when we should be at around 75 degrees. And there’s no end in sight. I can’t believe there’s still people who deny that climate change is real and human caused.

67 right now, going to get up to 70 today.

There were many times we'd have some snow by now.

Gold country. By the end of next week, it's predicted to be in the low 90s. Two years ago here, we had several feet of snow in late October, but that was also unusual.

We should be approaching peak leaf color, but most trees have barely started to turn.
