The climate has definitely changed from two days ago.

Up in the mountains the acorns are falling so continuously it sounds like a hail storm outside. Squirrels and chipmunks are gorging on them. This didn't happen last winter, which was mild, but it did happen the two winters before that, and those were winters of record cold and snow on the east coast. I think there's something to it.

Yup. The woods around my house have become extremely noisy and the squirrels are almost manic.
