Nine years ago, the Washington Post predicted cherry blossoms booming in February.

Could cherry blossoms one day be blooming in winter? – The Washington Post

February afternoon temperatures have been declining for a century in the US, and this month so far has been the coldest of the past century.

The percent of days above freezing has also been the lowest on record so far.

And the percent of nights below 0F has been second highest on record.

This is how Washington DC looked two days ago. I’m guessing those aren’t cherry blossoms making the ground white.

Opinion | Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole – The New York Times

Glenn Greenwald sums up the state of journalism.

Thus do we have the unimaginably warped dynamic in which U.S. journalists are not the defenders of free speech values but the primary crusaders to destroy them. They do it in part for power: to ensure nobody but they can control the flow of information. They do it partly for ideology and out of hubris: the belief that their worldview is so indisputably right that all dissent is inherently dangerous “disinformation.” And they do it from petty vindictiveness: they clearly get aroused — find otherwise-elusive purpose — by destroying people’s reputations and lives, no matter how powerless. Whatever the motive, corporate media employees whose company title is “journalist” are the primary activists against a free and open internet and the core values of free thought.

Experts say that global warming destroyed the planet in the year 2000, 2013, 2016 and now 2030. Forty-five years ago, global cooling destroyed the planet. And as people in Texas die from the cold, Bill Gates wants to pollute the atmosphere to block sunlight and make it even colder.

Two hundred years ago, Galveston Bay froze.

Like a runaway locomotive pulling only refrigerator cars, the cold air swept over the entire state. Moving from northwest to south, on February 12-14 (the dates varying with the progression of the cold front) Abilene dropped to -23; Denison reached -16; Fort Worth-Dallas saw -10 degrees, Waco -5, Austin -1 and San Antonio -4. (Children enjoyed skating on the frozen San Antonio River.) On the border at Laredo the mercury remained above zero, but only by 5 degrees. Corpus Christi dropped to 11 degrees, Brownsville experienced a 12 degree low and Galveston chilled to 8 degrees. Much of Galveston Bay froze, (as did part of Corpus Christi Bay to the south).

Remembering When it Really Got Cold.

On January 12, 1886 Galveston got six inches of snow, and on Valentines Day 1895, Galveston got fourteen inches of snow.

Texas was also hit by four hurricanes in 1886, and Florida was hit by three. It was the busiest hurricane season on record in the US. The city of Indianola, Texas was wiped off the map permanently.

In 1900 Galveston was destroyed by a hurricane, which was the deadliest natural disaster in US history.

In 1915, Galveston was again devastated by a major hurricane.

But now, “scientists explain” that snow in Galveston is evidence of “climate change.”

In 2011, Texas A&M climate expert Andrew Dessler said Texas would be hot and dry for the rest of the century – like the very hot summer of 2011.

There is no evidence to support any of their claims. The summer of 2011 was very hot, but was an outlier in a long term downwards trend in summer afternoon temperatures.

As far as precipitation goes, their forecasts are even worse.
