US winter of 2022-2023 'historic' as 'all western states see record snowfall' -- Earth Changes -- Sott.net

The western US has had an historic winter. From record-breaking cold spells to unprecedented amounts of snow, this has been a memorable cold season - and one that runs counter to the prophecies of the AGW party.

Starting with the cold - and according to data from the warmth-addicted NOAA - the US has set 7 all-time low temperature records so far this year (through April 24) compared to just one heat record, while 321 monthly lows have fallen in April alone (also through April 24) compared to 66 heat records.

Highest April 1st snow cover recorded this year

Regrading snow, in the official books going back to 2001, the largest area ever covered with snow/ice in the western US at the beginning of April so far was 2019's 1,030,820 sq km, but this year that figure was far exceeded, with satellite imagery showing that more than 1,149-960 sq km of the West was covered with snow and ice on 1 April.

By comparison, the average snowpack in the western US at the end of March is 242,000 square miles.

According to NSIDC data, snowpack this season was well above the April 1 average in all western states. In the table below, South Dakota, Nebraska and Arizona lead the way with 350% of the average, followed closely by Nevada:

All western US states have seen above-average snowfall; in fact, all have set records:

Meanwhile across the pond, the official UK low of -7.4°C was recorded on April 27 in Loch Glascarnoch, Scotland. This broke the previous low of -6.1°C recorded in 1956 in Glenlivet. It's been quiet for Britain's climate alarmists, as record cold blanketed the country.

Very good. Just wait until the Sun goes quiet in a cycle or two and the snow volumes and temperature records seen today will look like spring time in Paris.

Today I was comparing the volumes of cold air in the Northern hemisphere with this time last year, ( I have records that go back further) and it is obvious that this progressive accumulated air mass was responsible for driving the environment in which such records were achieved.

No doubt in the past, cycles of activities would have led to a similar outcome but today humanity and its associated infrastructure are largely dependent on mean weather profiles and historic events do leaves today's society vulnerable.

I can report that this development is not an isolated event and considerations should be exercised moving forward, for things are only going to become increasingly more difficult.
