To answer the OP's question; with no comment on "climate change debate".
Yes, my personal observation is the winters are warmer now. Back in the late 70's/early 80's; I hunted with some friends in Marengo county near Pennington. We had a standing agreement; that any time there was a hard freeze where the swamps would ice over we headed to the camp to float a creek that flowed to the Tombigbee and shoot ducks. All the ducks in the area would be in the creek. We did that 2-3 times a year, then. Not sure how many times that would have happened in the last 10 years in SW Alabama. Just my personal, anecdotal observation.
