From my egotistical point of view it was a great start of the year, I rode a bike, I walk, I sunbathed - so refreshing during those short winter days (and after a sleepless night).

Not sure if you are aware but Poland is one of the few countries that can benefit from moderate climate warming (https://www.espon.eu/climate-2012). In the base case scenario (winter without snow) we could save a lot of fuel and reduce the number of traffic accidents. The summers are a bit more tricky in the last decade they both got hotter and more humid (more rains). It's the south of the Europe that will get it hard.

You always feel weightless before hitting the ground. We are at the start of a process, and probably we will witness how things become worse in not so many years. And probably it will keep getting worse for the foreseeable future.

This event in particular may have been an outlier, but the trend goes in this direction, and there are some extremes events that we may not be able to get through safely.
