In case you missed it, Chicago, and the upper mid-west, has had a bit of a problem with snow this April
Chicago Shatters Record for Spring Snowfall
It’s not a record that the city of Chicago necessarily wanted to set, but history was made on Saturday as the area was hammered with a record snowfall.
According to the National Weather Service, O’Hare International Airport, the official reporting station for the city, received 2.5 inches of snow on Saturday, setting an all-time record for snowfall this late in the spring. The snow broke a record that was set all the way back in 1910, when Chicago received 2 inches of snow on April 26.
The snowstorm wasn’t limited to just Chicago, either. Numerous areas west of the city reported receiving over 5 inches of snow, and hazardous travel conditions continued into Sunday as slippery roads and icy surfaces were reported across the region.
Some springs can be cold and snowy. Nothing unusual. So, of course
79-year old snow accumulation record in Chicago just got broken yesterday. @GOP thinks #extremeweather is a myth. #2020Elections may convince them that the people want action on climate change. https://t.co/l1puQn2604

It may have been raining earlier when the outdoor @Cat_Guardians Bake Sale Fundraiser began, but then it turned to SNOW!â„It's not normal to get snow in Chicago at the end of April, & it was in the 80's just a few days ago! There's no doubt in my mind that Climate Change exists!! pic.twitter.com/jZGGzTj33T

@realDonaldTrump Hey Genius What your BS answer for the snow in Chicago right now It’s the end of April. Still no climate change.

It’s April 27th and Chicago is predicated to have 3-7 inches of snow today with winds up to 40 mph. I can’t fathom the thought that people still believe climate change is not an actual phenomenon.

What caused all that snow back in 1910 when CO2 was in the safe threshold under 350ppm?
Yes, it broke the OLD record for snow in April. Meaning it has snowed in April before, morons. It has even snowed on Derby Day in May in Kentucky.
But back then it was probably blamed on Global Cooling by the “experts” who were predicting a new ice age by 1935. Once again the Crazies conclude the end of life as we know it by an unusual weather event. What gullible people.
Opppps! Sorry. Next time I’ll use nitrogen.
It’s time to stop confusing, extreme weather conditions with climate change.
Is climate changing? Has it not been always changing since the beginning? Been on this planet 60 years, every one has been different. Happy Monday
Really hope there isn’t a repeat of the 1947 MEMORIAL DAY Blizzard thru the central states.
