swiss alps town1. Alaska’s fourth cold winter in a row

Alaska was once seen as a beacon of hope in the AGW coal mine: but after four cold winters in a row, culminating in a historically cold winter season in 2022-23, the Last Climate Frontier has certainly lost that status – the catastrophists will now have to look elsewhere to bolster their narrative.

According to NOAA’s data, and despite the agency’s official forecasts that consistently heralded “warmer than average” seasons, the last four winters in Alaska have shown a strong cooling trend. [emphasis, links added]

The Old Farmer’s Almanac is also off its rocker. It predicted a “much milder than normal winter” for 2022-23 with below-average snowfall. That was wrong on both fronts.

Historic snowfall totals of more than 250 cm fell across much of Alaska, and Anchorage set a new record for leftover snow that stayed on the ground well into April.

April was also a historically cold month across Alaska, with an average temperature of -8.7 degrees Celsius, which is 5.5 degrees Celsius below the multi-decadal norm, and the fourth coldest April in 99 years of NOAA records.

The snow has now continued into May, tumbling even more records.

2. More and more new cold records “Down Under”

Icy polar air masses continue to dominate large parts of Australia – most recently in the west. Moreover, a continent-wide cold air outbreak from Antarctica is expected in the second half of this week.

Australia is cooling, and the proof is in measurements: For the past six years, it has been colder than average Down Under, and the list of cities that have recorded the coldest seasons since records began is growing (such as Brisbane last winter).

May 2023 continues this cooling trend, with the lowest May temperatures on record already recorded in a number of locations early in the month – including Cooma, Omeo, Bombala, and Canberra.

In Sydney last Sunday, the lowest temperature recorded at the start of autumn in 85 years (since 1938) was 7.1°C.

Over the weekend, it was the west’s turn to freeze.

Large parts of Western Australia just experienced the coldest May morning in at least two decades. On both Sunday and Monday morning, the temperature in Broome, for example, dropped to 11.5 °C, the lowest autumn reading since 1999.

3. May snow in Europe – even in Spain

Meteorological summer may be just around the corner, but Europe’s higher altitudes are seeing further and unusually heavy snowfall – and the media have been characteristically silent despite all their clamoring about “snowless winters”.

In the French Alps, Tignes and Les 2 Alpes received huge amounts of snow at the beginning of May, and accumulations have continued to rise since then.

More recently, it was Austria’s turn to experience a late winter onset, with Hintertux, for example, reporting half a meter of new snow in the last few days alone.

4. The heavy May snow in Europe is not limited to the Alps

Large parts of Scandinavia have been buried in the recent off-season, as have the mountains of northern Spain, where several centimeters of snow have accumulated in recent days – following absurd MSM warmth reports of an early-season heat wave.

Parts of the Iberian Peninsula have recently been hit by a polar cold snap that has led to “unusual snowfall” in La Raya, a mountainous region in the Principality of Asturias in northwestern Spain, Reuters reports.

5. The year without spring in the UK

The year 2023 has been cold and wet in the UK so far, and spring still refuses to start in mid-May.

Even mainstream meteorologists can’t explain why winter’s grim conditions are still dragging on, and are themselves shocked by “all the severe frosts we’ve had this spring.”

BBC meteorologist Tomasz Schafernaker said that people approach him in the street and ask when spring will finally arrive. What have we done to deserve this cold, gloomy weather dragging on for so long?

According to Schafernaker, the answer lies in the history books, particularly the weather conditions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The BBC meteorologist actually explains it in terms of global warming: “From time to time we revert to previous weather patterns, and that’s what we’re experiencing this year … But thanks largely to climate change, temperatures have been creeping up – snow has become less frequent, and spring has occasionally brought very warm weather. And we have got used to that.”

6. Surprising May snow in the Gulmarg region of Kashmir

The Indian region of Kashmir is still experiencing wintry conditions in June.

The ski resort of Gulmarg in the Kashmir Valley continues to surprise tourists with massive snowfall and freezing cold. In Apharwat, there is still 30 cm of snow on the slopes, attracting thousands of tourists every day.

“We are experiencing a winter season in the middle of summer; I did not expect such severe cold,” said one tourist.

In May, there was a dramatic change in the weather, and the higher elevations of the Kashmir Valley saw rare off-season snowfall. Temperatures also remain well below normal, allowing the ski season to be extended all around.

7. Frost hits Europe

In large parts of Europe, it is freezing cold. What’s more, despite the mainstream’s cries of “No snow!”, the continent’s higher elevations have continued to receive copious amounts of late spring snow.

Much of central and eastern Europe has been exceptionally cold over the past few nights, and despite “The Science” predicting an impending devastating drought, rain has returned (in the form of heavy snowfall in the Alps and the Pyrenees).

A recent Reuters article says there is little chance that the rains will address the underlying drought: “At this time of year we can only have spotty and localized storms that will not address the rainfall deficit,” said Jorge Olcina, professor of geographic analysis at the University of Alicante, a mouthpiece for the AGW and darling of the MSM.

Well, the rains are here, Olcina, and they are proving to be heavy, persistent, and widespread – especially in the regions that “The Science” claims to be most concerned about: Spain, Portugal, and southern France.

Getting back to the cold records: Low-lying areas of France and Germany have been experiencing frost lately, which was not in keeping with the season.

In the small town of Wittingen (71 m above sea level), for example, a new May record of -1.6 °C was set. At least 16 low-lying stations across Germany, including the metropolis of Hanover, also experienced rare late frosts.

Snow is predicted for Scandinavia, the Alps, and the Pyrenees into June – amazing!

8. Deadly snowstorm in Mongolia

Mongolia endured a brutal and deadly winter of 2022-23 that resulted in massive livestock losses and the suffering of 212,000 people, according to Save the Children. Now, in late spring, the country continues to be battered by deadly snowstorms.

Currently, 13 of Mongolia’s 21 provinces are experiencing a “dzud” – a natural phenomenon unique to Mongolia in which heavy snowfall and extreme cold lead to a shortage of grazing land for livestock.

Between 1940 and 2015, official “dzud declarations” were made twice a decade. In recent years, however, dzuds have increased in frequency and now occur annually.

As with the increasing “cold waves” in India, the AGW party has no answer to this phenomenon.

As Xinhua reports, the return of winter in the country has also caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure such as roads and power lines.

The cold and snow have also killed many animals, NEMA added, contributing to the huge winter losses.

“The climate is very different from when I was a child,” Delgerbat said in early May. “When I was young, the snow had melted around this time and it was already spring, but now spring comes so late.”

    Weather isn’t really noticed by people who live in areas where the difference in temperature from summer to winter isn’t wide. A good example is Newcastle NSW. It’s usually warm and humid there and just a little cooler during winter although Newcastle doen’t really have a winter.

    Where we live, 30 kms south of Goulburn on the Southern Tablelands of NSW, the temperature difference here vs (say) Sydney can exceed 10 degrees C. Summer temps used to reached the high 30’s (pre 2019) while winter minimum can reach -10 during some early mornings. That could be followed by a daily max of 10 – 15C. More common, it won’t exceed 12C.

    I mentioned “pre 2019” above. That’s the summer when we had 2 days 40 & 41C and it is the last of what we would call a typical summer. EG: Many days in the high 30’s and nights in the high teens.

    Summers, since 2019 have been noticeably cooler. Max temps in the low 30’s and overnights in the low teens. Winters, on the other hand has been longer and cooler. As I type this comment, winter this year started at the begining of April. It used to be warm through to end of May, but not since autumn 2018.

    The other noticeable difference today vs pre 2019 is the weather reamins much cooler throughout spring. It hasn’t been warming until December and we know this because our tomatos don’t start to grow until January. Other vegetables’ growth is noticeably retarded until the weather warms at years end.

    The most noticeable difference since winter 2018 is the amount and quality of snow that falls at Perisher Valley ski fields in NSW. We were regular skiers there since the 1990’s and know the place and the weather extremely well. The snow now starts in May and remains skiable through to late October. Also, the snow is dry and light, when prior to 2018, it was always wet and heavy – and we had to be careful when we skied to be sure there was adequate snow for skiing. Skiing from June to October is virtually guaranteed today while pre 2018, snow was patchy while some years, snow didn’t arrive until mid/late July. The best time to ski was August and some years we got rain and thunder storms during that month.

    I agree with Professor Ian Plimer when he said we are likely to be at the end of the (current) Modern Warm Period and at the start of the next cool period.

    Weather is cyclic and the history, going back thousands of years is available for us to read about it, if we choose to look.

    Those who are always yammering of this Global Warming/Climate Change should get snowed in this winter

    Eternal climate calamitist Andie Skolnick has declared
    an eternal climate emergency based on the eternal
    horseshit of climate change, global warming. greenhouse
    effect etc.
    Even though, there has been
    NO DISCERENABLE WARMING WORLDWIDE
    FOR MORE THAN FORTY YEARS

    Exactly how much longer are people to accept this lie
    without so much as an iota of proof !

    And where is stupid ass AL Gore’s tipping point ?

    Think what you want
    but it is obvious that some people
    are enormously enriched

    LIARS !

    The article didn’t mention that in the last winter of the southern hemisphere, Antarctic had the coldest temperature ever recorded.

    The mainstream media is part of the climate change movement. They have a simple way of handling facts that don’t fit their narrative, ignore them.

    I hope the collection of extra cold events mentioned in this article is not the early signs of a new mini ice age, but I fear it is.
