1. Alaska\u2019s fourth cold winter in a row<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 the catastrophists will now have to look elsewhere to bolster their narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NOAA\u2019s data, and despite the agency\u2019s official forecasts that consistently heralded \u201cwarmer than average\u201d seasons, the last four winters in Alaska have shown a strong cooling trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac is also off its rocker. It predicted a \u201cmuch milder than normal winter\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The snow has now continued into May, tumbling even more records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a Twitter video<\/a> to go with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. More and more new cold records \u201cDown Under\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icy polar air masses continue to dominate large parts of Australia \u2013 most recently in the west. Moreover, a continent-wide cold air outbreak from Antarctica is expected in the second half of this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May 2023 continues this cooling trend, with the lowest May temperatures on record already recorded in a number of locations early in the month \u2013 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\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the weekend, it was the West\u2019s turn to freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u00b0C, the lowest autumn reading since 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. May snow in Europe \u2013 even in Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meteorological summer may be just around the corner, but Europe\u2019s higher altitudes are seeing further and unusually heavy snowfall \u2013 and the media have been characteristically silent despite all their clamouring for \u201csnowless winters\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s turn to experience a late winter onset, with Hintertux, for example, reporting half a metre of new snow in the last few days alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The heavy May snow in Europe not limited to Alps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large parts of Scandinavia have been buried in the recent off-season, as have the mountains of northern Spain, where several centimetres of snow have accumulated in recent days \u2013 following absurd MSM warmth reports of an early season heatwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parts of the Iberian Peninsula have recently been hit by a polar cold snap that has led to \u201cunusual snowfall\u201d in La Raya, a mountainous region in the Principality of Asturias in northwestern Spain, Reuters reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
