Since when does every winter bring catastrophic cold fronts causing life to come to a standstill? Summers now are expected to bring hellish wildfires and drought? The world now has to expect epic hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding. And all this is normal these days?

The USA is a mid-latitude, temperate country. We have, or are supposed to have, a relatively mild climate, especially compared to countries in less favorable latitudes. Wiki defines a temperate climate as:
