    It sucks that the capital is on the East Coast, which saw slightly below average winter temperatures. Easy to pretend all is well when you can still throw a snowball, while the other half of the country is riding mountain bikes where they should be snowboarding.

      Unfortunately the current government’s axe man (Im not even saying that rat bastard’s name) defunded and shut down every single weather and atmospheric observatory, so that none of the data from the sattelite observatories can be released, not to mention the last set of governments only giving lip service to ‘meeting climate agreement goals’

        At least they are not releasing fake data like they are doing on the economic front. Imagine sweltering in the March heat (???) and NOAA tell you it’s barely 75 and the world is alright!

      Much of the East Coast had an abnormally cold winter this year.

      That’s what made this winter special, the clear difference between the Rockies/West and the East was pretty stark.
