People, I realize it is a cold spring, but it is not "just a cold spring". Just a cold spring will be 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th, on the records, or break the record by maybe .5°. We are going to be breaking the record by probably 3.5°. That is incredible.
Also, if you would read the whole thing, I realize this doesn't mean: OMG, ITS AN ICE AGE, but also realize that the ridge just being stuck in the western US all April shouldn't happen.
And to the one who said the albedo effect is the cause of this (while it may be keeping Canada cooler, which is then coming down here), it also has a lot to do with the fact we are stuck in a trough. Once the ridge moves over, it will warm up.
But the simple fact is, we shouldn't be stuck in a trough this nasty for this long. There's a reason it is completely smashing the past record for coldest April on record.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
