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):

We will be in the inside passage late next week
Take your parka.
it was 23 degrees here two nights ago...but we’re supposed to get nice weather now....eastern washington...so naturally TODAY I planted some zukes and walla walla’s and some leaf lettuce.....so it might have been all in vain..
This is all just proof that Global Warming is real.
We will be in the inside passage late next week
It’ll still be beautiful.
Enjoy.
This is directly or indirectly due to our irresponsible carbon footprints I suppose.
The solution: more widespread and higher taxes and of course guilt.
Kansas City ‘was’ 70 degrees.
Now there’s an inch of snow on the ground.
Its cold here in Tampa, down to 67 tonight. brrrrrr 66 tomorrow night
+17 this morning
+34 right now
The record high for this date was +78
Normal is +56
Snow again this morning.
Fairbanks.
Braggert.
: )
This report confuses me as I live in Southern Oregon and it’s unseasonably hot: mid 80’s all week-weekend. Evening lows in 40’s - not bad.
Des Moines was 80 degrees Tuesday. Daytime high Thursday was 35. Snowing and blowing for more than 24 hours.
Someone call Al Gore and the “experts” on “Global Warming”
Record Setting May Snowfall Likely for parts of Arkansas
Snowfall in May in the State of Arkansas just doesn’t happen, but that could very well change by Friday morning. John Robinson of the National Weather Service in Little Rock went in search of records of a May snowfall in the State, but could not find a report of snow later than April 30th. On April 30th 1903, a trace of snow was reported in Fayetteville and Harrison. The latest measurable snowfall was recorded on April 24th 1910 in Corning, Arkansas. As for Little Rock, the latest snowfall ever recorded was on April 19th 1983. ALL of these records are in jeopardy. Here is a look at some various computer model snowfall projections through Saturday morning.
In central Texas we will take the cool weather as long as we can get it!
Good thing I haven’t planted my tomato plants yet.
Gosh, can you imagine how cold it would be without our Global Warming!!!
It all depends on where the jet stream is doing it’s thing.
