Is it normal to be sentimental about the climate of my childhood?

Like many of you I consider myself a”1990s child.” What I miss the most about the decade is not the shows (despite being the best decade for kids cartoon) or that it was the last decade children grew up without instant access to technology; for me, it was climate.

Now summers are too hot and not gloomy enough.

I grew up in the Midwest, and during this decade we had unusually mild winters that were followed by cool, stormy summers - it was a temperate decade. We haven’t had as many summers where you could fall asleep to lightning strikes and pounding rains, I miss the tornado warnings that seem to happen less often and further south.
