ndestries, this is what I would call a Climate Canary -or what might be potentially a climate canary.

I like the idea of our members reporting in the subtle things that they may see as climate change produces weird anomalies. btw, your member page needs some work!  Mostly it's blank - we don;t know where you are, what you deeply believe in, etc.
