Here in Anchorage, looks like we are around 3 – 4 weeks late with ice of local lakes and snow off the ground. Winter was not particularly hard, but it all changed with a very cold April. And at this point it does not appear things will be warming up soon. So much for manmade global warming due to carbon dioxide emissions.

Yes, have a look at the image at right.
Here is a complete list of record lows for Alaska in the past 7 days, 996 new record lows were set (click low temp and details tab):

And the cold is now creeping into the USA, look at the difference between Denver and Kansas City:
Expect a whole new crop of record lows for the USA, and some serious issues to develop with agriculture in the nation’s breadbasket as a result.
This in contrast to last year at this time of 49% of the corn crop planted and the five year average of 31%
The Weather Channel picked the wrong year to name winter storms, the snow and cold may be their Achilles Heel (h/t to Steve Goddard):

Sun's magnetic field declining leading to low sun spot counts....if this keeps up expect another 400 year long mini ice age.
The cool weather is not bad—but the wind is about to blow us away near Austin. I could do without that!
I don't think Algore leaves his cell phone on there in his hammock in Antigua. He just has his garcon bringing him his little umbrella drinks.

God...kickin’ Al Gore in the britches. Love it.
About 3 F here now over 9100 feet just east of some high peaks at about 39 degrees latitude. Will probably go below 0 within about four hours or so.
“Will probably go below 0 within about four hours or so.”
Where is algore when ya need him?
You know, algore, the EVIL POS who never became POTUS, but thinks he should be...
Here in the I.E. if we didn’t have triple digits this summer, due to the mini ice age...yippee...I say bring it on. :-)
Do you enjoy being there? Have you settled in, yet?
Algore is probably where he can better imagine global warming. ;-)

I do enjoy it. It is a challenge in the winter. But, it is beautiful.
And the summer, if it ever comes, makes up for the winter.
Yep
I’m wondering.....is the drought gone in Texas?
Us folks in North Texas second that motion!
No, it is still lingering. Lake Travis is over 50 feet low. It is the main source of drinking water for Austin and surrounding cities.
I just finished my night shift. It is 47 with winds gusting to 40 mph. Sure was cold walking around the outside of the buildings.
Fire up the coal plants, and put down as much soot as possible.
Also, reprint the infamous 1970’s Time Magazine “Global Cooling” cover.
it’s all my fault. No really. let me explain.
Last year at the end of summer I got a smoking hot deal on a lake home. we moved in, enjoyed 2 weeks of lake fun, then it snowed.
I have bad luck.
the lake thawed out 3 days ago.. Now it just teases us as it snows here in Minnesota.
So moving south is a good idea.
