This only proves that the media can also do “Fake Weather.”

They multitask, don’t you see.

It was colder in April than February here. Five inches of snow 4 days ago, three snow storms in April, still snow in my yard, 24 degrees 2 mornings ago..

I've lived in Aiken County, SC since fall, 2003. Since I've been here, the most snow I've seen was 5" which starting falling in the middle of the night and quit about 9 in the morning. Due to rising daytime temps, the snow was gone by 1pm. Schools were closed that day.

Coldest April in Virginia ever since ‘73 when I moved here, highs for many days barely reaching 60.....now it’s May, and still in upper 60’s tho today is 71 and tomorrow and exceptional 82...back to a high of 57 on Tuesday.

So looking like coldest May in 47 years as well......

Global warming, you know........

Cooler here in north central FL, too. Low 50’s several mornings and slight chill in evenings...not unusual for this time of year, but certainly not an increase.

Another COLD April here in Maryland.

Global warming my ass.

The actual maximum temperature anomaly for the month of April! I credit weatherbell.com and Joe D'Aleo. This may very well persist into May as the MJO is lingering in the cold phases. (I love being a premium subscriber!)

We’ve been ten degrees below normal for the last month here in Northern Michigan.

In Charlotte...had to turn the heat on this morning...house interior was at 66°. Normally, this time of year, we’re jockeying between heat and AC. We just try to leave the equipment off, but this period of back and forth seems to be longer than normal. It’s not bad...the days are wonderful wx wise.

Schools only close here for a foot or more coming in the daylight hours. If it comes at night we have it cleaned up in time for school, sometimes they delay for an hour or two.

Somehow somewhere by someone this will be explained as being due to the COVID shutdown, and use as warrant for continued extreme restrictions in order to fight the more dire problems as forecasted by other experts.

Thank God, though there are 4 boxes all told, and the larger ones are almost 2 months old! But you see it was a very warm day in mid-March, and you know, you feel like Spring might be on the way, and you are eager to get a head start. So, and wanting to give a few of the (pre-COVID captivity) neighborhood kids something to do in the garden plot (as last year), I showed them how to mark the 20oz cups and fill them 2/3 full with the homemade potting soil, put 2 seeds in, separately, cover with sol, pat down and them I watered. Only two had the heart and patience to do it for long,
