This winter has been one of the warmest on record for many parts of the U.S. We asked people how this affects their everyday lives. Here's a sample of what we heard, including: 🤧 Worse allergies 🌷 Plants blooming earlier ⛸ Giving up winter hobbies

how people around the country are seeing the effects of this in their everyday lives. Here's a sample of what we heard back.Thomas Germanson grew up near a lake in Madison, Wis., in the 1960s. In the winter, he says, the frozen water was a perfect place to take model yachts ice boating — meaning they glided on the ice. Having open water into the new year was a rare occurrence.

But he finds it's not the norm anymore. Now, the radio-controlled boats can simply sail through the water.Because of the warmer weather, Germanson cancelled a trip to Florida, where he planned to visit family and sail at their local ponds. Not everyone with a winter hobby is faring the same. Sandy Page grew up ice skating on a rural Pennsylvania wetland in the 1970s and '80s."Tall plants broke the pattern of ice, so rather than skating in a straight line, I had to pay attention and navigate an obstacle course of foliage. The ice was very clear, and it was easy to see the aquatic life below," Page says."It is no longer possible to do these activities. Worse, my kids, still young, will never have known them.
