NEW YORK CITY TIES 1884 RECORD FOR LOWEST-MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE THIS LATE IN THE SEASON (electroverse.net)

Well this can't make Al Gore and his protege Great happy. It should as it shows a serious cooling of the planet!

Better hope the cold doesn't start early in September because that will make a short growing season here in the US.

Well below average and record breaking temperatures continue to grip swathes of the United States this Memorial Day weekend.

Today, Monday, May 31 vast pockets of the CONUS are set to suffer exceptional lows for the time of year.

States from Arizona to New Brunswick seeing temperature departures some 30 degrees colder than normal:

The entire weekend has been a write off in New York City, with everyone from Manhattan tourists to Coney Island shopkeepers battling record cold and rain.

“It’s like winter weather in the middle of spring,” said one shopper in Manhattan on Sunday.

May 29 was a particularly cold day across the City.

The historic station of Central Park observed a daytime high of just 51F (10.6C) on Saturday — a reading which ties the lowest-maximum temperature ever recorded so late in the season, set back in 1884.

Hundreds of stations across the Northeast have reported (and are continuing to report) new benchmarks for late-spring cold. Descending Arctic air has been reinforced by a zone of low pressure along the East Coast that in turn has brought clouds and rain, blocking out the May Sun (a setup related to low solar activity).

Below are just a few examples of the new benchmarks:

Washington logged a high of 59F (15C) — the second coldest on record and the coldest high temperature this late in the spring since 1997 (solar minimum of cycle 22).

Baltimore saw a high of 58F (14.4C) — the city’s coldest May 29 on record.

Philadelphia’s high of 54F (12.2C) was its coldest on record.

Pittsburgh’s high of 51F (10.5C) was also its coldest on record.

While Albany registered a high of barely 50F (10C) — again, its coldest May 29 ever recorded.

Moreover, and as touched on above, the historic cold hasn’t just been confined to the Northeast.

Many locations from Ohio and Kentucky, eastward to New England either broke or tied daily records for lowest high temperature on May 29, according to AccuWeather.

I enjoy using their own words against them.

Agreed brother, it really gets their goat and lets others know what they are up to. Changing the name was the only admission of guilt we will get till the crops start failing from the cold and rain.
