It's already one of the coldest and snowiest starts to the winter season in parts of the Northeast, Midwest and Plains, and we haven't finished November yet.
According to the Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index (AWSSI) from the Midwest Regional Climate Center, 74 cities from New England to the Plains and Rockies have seen an extreme season-to-date of cold and snow as of Nov. 27.
[...]
Cities categorized as having an extreme winter, so far, ranked in the 99th percentile of the index for Nov. 27.
A combination of persistent cold from the Northeast to the Plains and a pair of expansive winter storms, Avery and then Bruce, gave this winter season a fast start.
Solar cycle 24 was exceptionally weak and cycle 25 is shaping up to be similar. Some have predicted that, if the trend continues, Earth may experience a "mini ice age" soon due to increased cloud formation reflecting the warming light from the sun: https://astronomynow.com/2015/07/17/diminishing-solar-activity-may-bring-new-ice-age-by-2030/

Oh yes, please go on you psychotic stupid fuck. What's likely to be the fourth hottest year on record of all time [noaa.gov] is the true evidence that the thing you idiots made up about people saying in a non-particular past is real.
Sure your source here might be a paid-off nitwit doing the same "well if the last 3 years of the 11 solar cycle are extrapolated 100 years into the future and we ignore carbon-based heat capture as a made up fiction and don't incorporate it in our calculations at all it's going to get colder" that we last had to deal with... 11 years ago.
Oh fuck it. We both know you're just an amoral psychopath whose entire ideology is about proving to yourself that the things your ideology is wrong about is right. It's just a pileup and half-assed rationalizations and you can all go fuck yourselves. You're incredibly stupid, evil fucks.

All time? OH NO. So it was hotter than when Earth was formed? Or when planet X smashed into proto Earth making the Moon? OUCH how the fuck did we survive?

Yeah, sure would be terrible if I used the word "record" to indicate something about the nature of the years in question.
It'd sure be awful if that point wasn't entirely fucking clear and you weren't just another piece of human garbage with bad opinions, the vacuousness of which have no goddamn compare.
No wait, everything you just said is completely stupid, and like VLM, you should stop acting like you are sentient.

Today in San Diego it rained literally for the first time in the whole year. Also, it was pretty damn warm up until a few months ago. I remember even a few years back here it was blazing hot as late as Halloween.
Now, if we're gonna discuss "miserable starts to winter here, let's talk about how the migrant economic tourist hordes in Tijuana arrived just in time to be rained the living fuck on. And, for a number of reasons, I don't exactly feel bad for them. At least when "fearing violence and starving" in Honduras, they had some kind of housing to protect them from the rain. In TJ, they sleep in tents in a muddy rainy baseball field with even their own Mexican brothers an ass-hair away from beating the shit out of them.
Yep, the start of Winter. Good for some, not so good for others. Sure, climate change is happening, the same way its been happening for millions of fucking years. Climate skeptics are not skeptical of climate change and known damn well that shitting in their well makes bad drinking water. What they are skeptical of is the politicization of climate change, because we are told that we must accept unskilled refugees and give more taxes and money to people because -- climate change.

Letting conservatives live is a serious problem and we as society should stop doing it.

Simple solution. Just neuter your damned liberals, then they won't be responsible for what the conservatives might be doing.

I can deal with the sun cycle much better than I can deal with liberal menstrual cycles. Take some Midol, please.
