Cold snap breaks region's record lows [Charlotte, NC sees coldest April day in history...]
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr! We need temps back to normal here in Kansas....we need a wheat crop!
And a return to "normal" averages is nowhere in sight. The last 2 weeks now, have been on average 15f BELOW normal. So much for the alarmists claim of ealier springs.
I swear, the newspeople must not have any windows in the newsroom, and they never go outside when they show "global warming" scare stories.
They sort of shot themselves in the foot when they tried to make a "global warming will make maple syrop extinct" story, and the farmer showed that the temperatures has been the same at each spring harvest time for the past 100 years, and that the beginning of the harvest always fluctuates by a week or two each year.
When it comes to hard facts and real records, "global warming" alarmists are hard pressed to show any. All they can come up with, and keep on falling back on is the same old faulty computer model that they started out with.
FROSTS
One of the earliest recorded incidents of the freezing of the tidal River Thames was in AD 250 when it froze for 9 weeks. This was surpassed in the winter of 1715-16 when it froze over for 13 weeks but the record stands at 14 weeks during 1410.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, frost fairs were held in London whenever the River froze. The most significant ones were in 1683-84, 1715-16 and 1739-40 with the last one taking place in 1813-14. During the frost in the winter of 1683-84, the ice was so thick that it was strong enough to support horse-drawn carts.
The removal of the old London Bridge (which had the effect of a dam) and the building of the Embankments in the 19th century (which narrowed the River), caused the flow to be increased to such an extent that it was no longer possible for the tidal Thames to freeze over.
In 1963, almost the whole of the Non-tidal Thames froze as far as Teddington an event that had not happened since 1895 when a carnival was held on the ice in Oxford at which an ox was roasted. During the frost of 1891 when the river froze over in Oxford, the ice was so thick that it was possible for a coach and four horses to drive across it.
HEAT-WAVE
There were four major glacial periods when there were long spells of intense cold. Between these periods the climatic conditions improved and temperatures rose - called 'interglacials'. During one of these, the temperature rose to such an extent that the climate in the Thames Valley was similar to that in Central Africa today.
Not sure how your post goes along with the idea of “no climate change”
