More anecdotal colder than normal weather keeps piling up. This time it’s in Southern Oregon and Northeastern California. Clearly we are having some far earlier than normal frosts and freezes in the USA, and the situation seems to be mirrored in colder than normal weather in parts of UK and Europe as well.
Note that this frost advisory has no connection to the weather pattern that caused frost and freeze in Minnesota and Wisconsin last night, it is a different frontal system.

Got it – thanks very much.
“The steady use of randomly selected anecdotes by this website does nothing to increase its integrity. Like it or not, that’s my view.”
“Of course it’s Anthony’s site, and he’ll do as he darn well pleases. But hopefully he’ll simply consider my comments as “suggestions for improvement”.
Come on Pierre! Look around at your fellow commenters. Take a sample, estimate the population.
If Anthony’s intent were plebian don’t you think all these publicans would be rather scarce.
Now what does that tell you, Pierre? I’d say you’re fears imply you think that you just might be a standard deviation or two above the bulge.

Jeez, please edit your “personal attack” comment. I take exception to your selective preciosity. ‘Ethnic slur’ would be preferable.
Reply: Please do not accuse me of being selective. It’s my job to maintain standards and I try very hard to to it in an even-handed manner~charles the moderator aka jeez
Jeez,
We all agree you have an important, and unpaid job, in service to all of us. You aren’t expected to know I’ve supported Pierre more often than not, or have time to sort out everything you read.
The issue related to your use of boilerplate. You did not have to post anything, a plain [snip] would have told me what I needed to know.
Why do good cops always detest the bad cop?
Reply: Point taken and I apologize. My reasoning is thus, by sometimes explaining certain editorial decisions I give feedback to posters so that they understand the why. Sometimes it’s so obvious that I don’t explain, sometimes when they are borderline I do. It’s all part of trying to get posters to comply to standards without appearing capricious.~charles the moderator.

At the top of the page is a mission statement: Commentary on puzzling things in life, nature, science, technology, and recent news.
That includes anecdotal evidence, it doesn’t include “personal attack” or ‘ethnic slur’, though perhaps it’s an anthropological question why someone would prefer being censored for one over the other.
Ric, you assume too much.
