May snow in Upper Michigan
Folks in Michigan may have been shocked to wake up on the first day of May to see a blanket of snow outside their windows. Areas in the upper tier of Michigan, around Lake Superior, received several inches of snow on Wednesday.
A spring storm left Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland covered in snow on May 1.
Andre Beyzaei, who captured this footage, told Storyful it's not common to see this amount of snow around western Newfoundland at this time of year. "We usually see something like this in January or February," he said.
Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning on Wednesday for the Rocky Harbour area due to the continued snowfall.
Bankruptcies slamming American dairy and grain farmers which has a feedback loop of banks less willing to lend because of risk, so less land is planted because of lack of financing. Kenyan and Ugandan fishermen square off over Lake Victoria fish, a look food usage globally and the Galactic Cross.
Crop and cattle losses are on the rise everywhere, whether it is due to extensive drought, massive hail, epic flooding, huge dust storms, unexpected frosts, and even epidemics. See also:
The region is no stranger to late-season snow events.
"It's fairly common to get snow this late in the season for parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
Denver has had measurable snowfall after April 20 in 2016, 2017, 2018 and now in 2019, too," AccuWeather Meteorologist Steve Travis said.
In Denver, the average day for the last snow is April 27, but there has been measurable snow in the area as late as June 1.
Heavy snowfall totals have accumulated over the previous three days with the highest totals recorded in Montana. As of Tuesday morning, 29 inches of snow were recorded in Highwood, Montana, and 18 inches were recorded in Monarch, Montana, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
It's the last day of April and we're literally writing a story about how much snow fell in parts of Minnesota on Monday.
"Hello again winter!" said Visit Cook County MN in a Facebook post. "We woke up to a few fresh inches of snow this morning in the northwoods. Of course, it won't last long but the dramatic transformation from the spring time brown to monotone white is rather beautiful."
Snow-covered highways in southern Alberta reopened Sunday as stuck or smashed vehicles were removed, but snowfall advisories and even a blizzard warning remained in effect in some areas as the storm tracked into Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada says a strong low-pressure system brought heavy snow and strong winds to much of central and southern Alberta on Saturday into Sunday morning.
It says the system even produced a few short-lived severe thunderstorms in the southeast corner of Alberta before blizzard conditions descended on the area Saturday evening.
The Trans-Canada Highway east of Calgary was closed in both directions on Saturday, while police said travel was restricted on the highway west of the city as crews responded to a crash involving four semis and 11 other vehicles. No serious injuries were reported.
Winter Storm Xyler snowfall totals from April 26 through early April 28, 2019.
Winter Storm Xyler brought accumulating snow to parts of the northern Plains, upper Midwest, Great Lakes and interior Northeast during the last weekend of April 2019.
Xyler was a mid-spring clipper-like low-pressure system that swept across the northern tier of the United States from the northern Rockies through South Dakota and Nebraska, then the southern Great Lakes. The northern side of Xyler had just enough cold air to work with to produce unwanted snow across the northern Plains, upper Midwest, Great Lakes and interior Northeast from April 26 through early April 28.
Winter Storm Xyler was named during the late-afternoon hours on April 26, when winter storm warnings were issued for southern Minnesota and southern Wisconsin, including the Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin, metro areas. Those warnings met our criteria for winter storm naming, at least 2 million people located in winter storm warnings.
Temperature has preceded CO2 concentrations on Earth for the last 450,000 years, but that somehow slipped under the radar, and now revisiting the Climategate emails the Medieval Warm Period was equal to today's temperatures if not warmer. But bogus climate charts are emerging across social media showing otherwise, plus rocket tests in Norway are explained by Jim Lee at Climate Viewer.
He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
