One of the coldest winters I remember in the San Joaquin Valley of California was when I found caterpillar cacoons under my roof awnings in July.
It froze so hard that when you drove through a puddle of water it froze up right behind you.
Also as a 75 year old living here virtually all my life the late summers and falls feel different. When the trees waffle in their annual hibernation, sudden warm spells it is cold. Really cold. When you just suddenly see the leaves turning it is still very cold but not to the freezing, hard freezing level.
Rain can be felt in the air and sometimes people say they can smell it. Sudden storms and animals will pace, dogs bark, horses run in circles, cats sit and look at the skies, a lightening storm coming and birds can be seen walking around, not flying, until suddenly they just fly away in mass.
Strange place I live in.
