What if it just didn't snow? Or get below freezing? Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland take a hypothetical journey on this week's episode of The Growing Season. Gone: Winter dives into "what if Winter just disappeared?" Its a sobering topic but one that needs to be discussed with Climate Change coming to the forefront in the news once more. Matt discusses his snow filled adventures this winter. "Streamers" have become a common term being used to describe snow events. Are there more streamers happening in our current climate change filled landscape? Outdoor skating is being impacted due to climate. The trio explain how. Jack focuses on human fluid transference and derails a WHOLE segment. What is a GoGirl? Matt follows this topic down the rabbit hole. The Ice Road and the trucks that transport goods across it come into focus. The cost of produce and dry winters are correlated. Want a snowless winter? Be prepared to pay more at the grocery store. How would lack of winter effect birds and insects? You'd be surprised to learn the myriad of interesting ways less winter would effect the former and latter. Warmer climate = MORE TICKS! Uh-oh. Jack links the spongy moth invasion and climate change... Cold weather has a surprising effect on human blood pressure. Tune in. Looking to book a consult for your property? We'd love to help.
