In the last 20 years, only two April 6-15 had major cold in the eastern US.
2016:
2018″
Both had major stratospheric warming events telegraphing them in March.
The period this year is currently forecasted like this:
We had other years where cold was centered in the west, but not in the major eastern and southern markets.
2020
2021
2022
There was some warming then, so cold showed up, but the question was where would the cold show up?
The entire month as a whole in those years of warming had a distinct cold flavor for the US.
Now look at the warm Aprils.
10mb in March ( the stratosphere was cold)
Why there is any waffling on this matter is beyond me. The mean of the punch-the-clock on the cooling after the warming goes off is around 30 days from when the warming starts, and those chickens are coming home to roost.
It’s not global weirding, it’s what the weather does.
Now with it so warm, the cries of climate change causing out-of-season cold after it being so warm are going to arise. So-called Global Weirding.
Let me get 6 ugly cold Aprils before the hysterics really take over with their agenda driven drivel.

What did we have in the stratosphere in March?
Isn’t that special? All that warming in the stratosphere the month before spring takes a step back in April, and all when CO2 was much lower.
Heh, the over/under on games called due to snow in Denver on April 4-10, the Rockies home stand, is 2. I wonder if the Yankee torpedo bats will work if snow happened to show up in the air when they are playing?
