Paging Seth Borenstein! 9787 new cold and snow records since March 13th
If this were a month of a heatwave across thus USA, like last July, you can bet it would be MSM headlines all over the place and breathless stories from AP’s Seth Borenstein and pronouncements from the Mannian climate cartel about how all this is connected to global warming, er climate change, er climate disruption.

But nary a peep so far about this cold wave lasting over a month that has generated 9787 records posted by NOAA/NWS.
Conversely, here is the list of high temperatures, and high minimum temperatures.

Now, it’s not unusual for it to snow here in the Denver area in the late spring, even into June, but after a very dry winter, we’ve had at least a foot of snow every week since the beginning of March. Every. Week. We’re thawing again today but there is more snow in the forecast for next Thursday. We’ve not only been very snowy but it’s also been very cold. Instead of the spring-like snow with temps in the 30s and 40s, slush really, we’re getting winter-like snow and temps in the teens.
This is in contrast to the last two years that were unusually warm early. I was able to start gardening at the beginning of April instead of the more usual end of April. The rule around here is not to plant containers until the Sunday after Mother’s Day, it will certainly be true this year.
Unfortunately, all that snow still hasn’t eased the drought enough to cancel the watering restrictions. Part of me is hoping that it will continue to snow in the mountains (our water supply) through May and into June, the other part of me is mighty sick of it and wants it dry and warm.

Excellent! Viewed via proxy (“expat shield”)
It’s the new, “new normal”.
Wallowa County last freeze day is May 7th.
Hmm. Al Gore sure has been quiet here lately – for Al Gore at least. Anybody heard from him?
Oddly enough, I disagree. It seems that a day doesn’t go by without TWC trumpeting yet another “named” winter storm. At the same time, they continue to harp on global warming. Haven’t they realized how their own cynical marketing has made them hypocrites? Oh, sorry! I forgot. The cold is CAUSED by global warming… (mantra…mantra…)
Bravo! 🙂
Perhaps Steve Mosher can ghost-write a reply back to you speaking for C02. 😉

Ach! Got mittens?
Last winter I had to end swimming season in the first days of December and got back in as soon as the following February. This winter I had to stop in late October and April 3 near Savannah, GA was the earliest. Before big mama gator takes the plunge!
Yep, it’s definitely colder, or more like last winter was abnormally warm. Spring is late in the high country of the Ozarks, the bluebirds nests have eggs and a few hummingbirds are juicing up. Green up is slow.
Indeed, how wonderful. Global Warming to Global Cooling is quite irrelevant when one considers/ponders on the subject of Global Idiocy. I welcome all to the Kingdom of Idiom
One would have to be very dumb to believe that record cold weather is really global warming!
