Coldest April Easter in 57 years
Better grab your insulated bonnets; we're in for the coldest Easter Sunday in years.
That didn't stop a group of early Easter egg hunters in Anoka this afternoon. They bundled up for the holiday tradition, despite the cold.
"That's Minnesota for you. But we still have our Easter spirit," said Sarah Oftelie.
Easter Sunday's high temperature will struggle to make 40 degrees, barely higher than Christmas day. In fact, we haven't seen April temperatures like this in almost 60 years.
Other parts of the country are freezing, too. Friday's Twins game is canceled in Chicago, and Atlanta could see its coldest Easter Sunday in 120 years.

You are sure right there but I thought you were talking about that OTHER Big Bend Park, the one in Siberia.
Thank goodness for global warming! Without it, we might really have frozen our asses off! lol
This is proof positve that carbon offsets work.

In 1991, Maurice Strong wrote the introduction to a book published by the Trilateral Commission, called Beyond Interdependence: The Meshing of the World’s Economy and the Earth’s Ecology, by Jim Mac Neil. (David Rockefeller wrote the foreword). Strong said this:
“This interlocking...is the new reality of the century, with profound implications for the shape of our institutions of governance, national and international. By the year 2012, these changes must be fully integrated into our economic and political life.”
He told the opening session of the Agenda 21 Rio Conference (Earth Summit II) in 1992, that industrialized countries have:
“developed and benefited from the unsustainable patterns of production and consumption which have produced our present dilemma. It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing — are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns.”
In an essay by Strong entitled Stockholm to Rio: A Journey Down a Generation, he says:
“Strengthening the role the United Nations can play...will require serious examination of the need to extend into the international arena the rule of law and the principle of taxation to finance agreed actions which provide the basis for governance at the national level. But this will not come about easily. Resistance to such changes is deeply entrenched. They will come about not through the embrace of full blown world government, but as a careful and pragmatic response to compelling imperatives and the inadequacies of alternatives.”
“The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation. What is needed is recognition of the reality that in so many fields, and this is particularly true of environmental issues, it is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation-states, however powerful. The global community must be assured of environmental security.”
Today you have already experienced “Agenda 21” without even realizing its presence. It has been foisted on you under the pretense of environmental concerns by government agencies you have no control over. These agencies are full of only appointed citizens of elite status that are telling you what you can and cannot do regarding your private property. Do they know what they are doing? In most cases, probably not, as they think they are just being good, responsible world citizens who are going to save the environment from those of us who are abusers.
Yesterday there was a call by the United Nations to add a new tax to airline tickets to subsidize the poor of the world. If this happens, you will have just been taxed not by your government but by a pseudo world government that is being handed control over your life. Your airline company which is owned by an American Corporation will be directed by the United Nations to levy and collect a tax on their behalf and when that happens our United States Government will have to be complicit in that action.
By now you are probably feeling like this is just another conspiracy theory, however, in 1998 an article was written by a staff member in a newspaper published back east and it contained the following: “Recommendations will be developed which call for a reduction of fossil fuel energy use with specific recommendations to apply special taxes to fuels and to automobiles based on miles driven.” Seven years ago it was only words; today they want to implement this tax. Back then it was supposition, today it is reality.
Strong in his statement at the opening session of the Rio Conference (Earth Summit II) stated: “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing — are not sustainable.” Today’s reality shows that statement, in part, is trying to be implemented and I’m sure more is to come.
What is the European Union if not a move to homogenize all of Europe? To gradually remove sovereignty from all those who belong? Strong stated: “”The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.” Hopefully, the EU will fail. We should pray the EU fails.
Nikita Khrushchev in a famous speech directed to the United States stated: “We will bury you!” Those words have never been closer to becoming reality than they are today.
Regarding Maurice Strong in closing there is this:

UNITED NATIONS - Maurice Strong, a long-time Canadian businessman and currently the top UN envoy for North Korea, will suspend his work for the United Nations while investigators look into his ties to a South Korean businessman accused in the UN oil-for-food scandal in Iraq.
Strong denies any involvement with the tainted program and has pledged to co-operate with investigators. His ties to Tongsun Park are raising concerns about a possible conflict of interest in respect of his role as envoy to North Korea. Park is accused of accepting millions from the Iraqi government while being suspected of operating as an unregistered agent for Baghdad, lobbying for oil-for-food contracts. (see what did I tell you about the elitist?)
Yeah, but think how cold it would be if the Globe hadn’t warmed up!
It’s Gorebal warming time. Now that the Ice Age of the 70’s is over we can turn our attention to the imbeciles’ latest craze.
Darn near 50 here in Fairbanks! Ha-Ha!
Apples, cherries, peaches, and pears will be very expensive this summer/fall.
Also, don’t expect many lilac blooms this year in most areas east of the Rockies.
The temperature up here near the Arctic Circle is +38 degrees today. We had one of the coldest months of March on record, and now that it’s April, the snow is melting fast.
The environmental meaning of these facts are:
a) We are all going to die from global warming, including the polar bears
b) Global warming will produce global cooling, which will lead to a new ice age, and we’re all going to die, including the polar bears
c) My Subaru is melting the snow because of the carbon dioxide produced by the combustion of gasoline, and we’re all going to die, including the polar bears
d) Didn’t we warn you that any weather anomoly of any sort can easily be attributed to global warming? And we’re all going to die, including the polar bears.
Al the Bore left his front door open with the AC running on high, that is why it is so cold.
68 here in Florida, maybe he will do the same this summer to stop the Atlantic from warming up to stop the hurricanes. Nice guy, he is so thoughtful of others.
Here in NW Arkansas, my cattle water tanks were froze over. My flowers and trees have killed leaves and buds. My cows were coated with frost this morning. It was Cold!
I hate to say it but Algore is kin by marriage to me. When I was in Tennessee visiting relatives they confirmed this. They also voted for BUSH!
...but when is breakup?
The description for the Activism sidebar reads: Activism/Chapters: Activism, protests, news and business of Free Republic Chapters.
Poor Minnesota needs a little attention. But while they are basking in sympathy for their balmy 40 degrees, today's high in SE Ohio was a cold 30F.
Once again there is no weather in Fairbanks. This makes 12,000 consecutive days of no weather in Fairbanks, which is as far back as I go.
When I lived in Fairbanks there was lots of weather. Of course, no one in the lower 48 ever knew about it. Rather sad, isn’t it.
On the upside, here in the Black Hills of South Dakota, we used Easter eggs to form the ears, eyes and nose of our snowman.
It was rather cute.
It has all happened before, and will again.
