I take it AlGore visited? v Global warming seems to follow him everywhere. God apparently has a wicked sense of humor ;)
My daughter’s school had the day off today because they hadn’t yet used any of the snow days they’d alloted for the year. Irony!
Its been in the 70s and 80s here in Southern Michigan. Still getting snow 4 or 5 hundred miles away in the UP.
We had three inches of snow here in NW Arkansas. It isn’t the first time we had cold weather this late but is the first time snow fell.
In the early 1970s there was a heat wave in early May. Then in 1978 it was in the 40s on May 1.
A few years later we had frost kill my garden on May 19.
Then about 2006 it was the coolest summer anyone can remember.
People in my office were freezing. Had to explain t them that it is called spring.
Here in eastern California, we had a low of 34 this morning and a high of 82 this afternoon.
Twenty seven degrees with ice and then snow here in Springfield, MO. Snow on the ground here tonight. Amazing weather to be sure!
(He brings a whole new meaning to "Old Man Winter.")
A nice big high pressure system has been sitting over central PA. 30s-40s at night, and 60s during the day. Everything is turning green with a nearly cloud free blue sky for most of the week and expecting more of the same until Tuesday. It is called spring, and the old adage of not planting your garden until Mother’s Day seems to make sense this year.
In Orange County, Calif., it was in the 90’s today.
GoreBull worming.
Snowed here in KC yesterday and all last night. It was very cold and rainy (with a few flakes) today.
Ya know, when I was a child they used to say, “If you don’t like the weather in Kansas City, just hang around, it will change.”

I love it when a FReeper makes up a creative name for a new phenomenon!
Warm globally, cool locally!
That would break the record for the latest snow fall that was set yesterday (Friday) which broke the old record which was set in 1929.
It’s 43.3 degrees and raining,(1.2 inches in past 10 hours), in central Alabama. Brometeric pressure 29.27 inches of mercury. It’s dark too. Maybe the sun has died.
