April in the U.S. was remarkably cold in the midst of global warming

Even during times of rapid global warming, loooooong periods of cold weather can occur. April in the U.S. was one of those periods.

Despite record warmth elsewhere in the world, it was the 13th-coldest April in the United States, where records date back to 1895. The Upper Midwest was particularly cold — Iowa and Wisconsin had their all-time coldest April while temperatures in surrounding states in the Central and Northeast U.S. were well-below average. From Minnesota to Mississippi, nine states had their coldest April overnight lows.

In Minnesota, ice-out came as late in the season as it ever has. Ice-out is when the ice has completely melted after winter. At Lake Minnetonka just west of Minneapolis, ice-out is usually in mid-April. This year, the lake wasn’t ice-free until May 5, which was 21 days later than normal.

Ice hasn’t lasted this far into spring on the 14,500-acre lake since 1857, the Star Tribune reported.

Global warming is like a wild, unpredictable mad man. A complete total maniac that can’t be controlled, reasoned with, or persuaded by any rational means. He’ll burn you one day and freeze you the next. There’s only one thing you can know for certain: it’s all our fault.

“April in the U.S. was remarkably cold in the midst of global warming”

The cold was caused by the warm.

“If it gets colder it must be global warming. The only cure is global socialism.”

From Chapter 1 of the Book of Gaia.

LOL! Yessiree! We can predict "Global Warming" and can say that it will be interspersed with periods of "Global Cooling". Can't call it "weather" but, trust us, you'll fry in the end.

Could also be stated as:

Even during a build up to global cooling, loooooong periods of warm weather can occur. Summer in the South was an example of this phenomenon.

Should be an indication to some doubters about who is actually in charge of the climate.
