18 inches of snow wallops Michiganders in May: 'Feels like the never-ending winter'

Vehicles buried in more than foot of snow in Ishpeming, Michigan on May 1, 2023.
Winter just won't go away in parts of Michigan as some people are getting walloped on May 1st, more than a month after spring officially arrived. We're talking a foot and a half of snow in the Upper Peninsula with even more on the way.
Long-time Yooper, Mandy Carlson Moebius, says she can't believe the amount of snow they've gotten in her Marquette County home of Ishpeming. She says the snow started falling around midnight and it was still coming down as of 7:00 p.m. with no end in sight.
"This feels like the never-ending winter," Moebius frustratingly told MLive. "The snow was almost gone only to come back with a vengeance. We are so ready for spring to arrive."
Moebius says it looks like about 15 inches has fallen so far and it's expected to keep falling throughout the night with around two feet accumulating when it's all said and done.
"I was glad it wasn't as cold this winter but I am so sick of snow," Moebius added. "Usually around this time of year, we have some snow on the ground still melting because we get so much in the winter, but I don't remember getting snow like this in May."
The Upper Peninsula isn't the only area of Michigan seeing snow on May 1st. According to MLive Meteorologist Mark Torregrossa, parts of Northern Michigan's Lower Peninsula are seeing up to six inches in the Traverse City and Cadillac Areas. Some areas in Southern Lower Michigan could also get an inch.

Big May snowfall in the Alps
There have been some big snowfalls on high slopes in the Alps on the first day of May.
Most ski areas are already closed for the season but several dozen remain open in the Alps, and the latest snowfall continues a trend of regular snowfall through spring, after an often dry winter.
Tignes and Val d'Isere (pictured this morning), which are still open until next weekend, reported 20cm of fresh snowfall above 2,000m this morning, and it has continued to snow heavily through the day.
Val Thorens is also open for another week and Les 2 Alpes re-opens after a 10 day closure on Tuesday, May 2nd, for late-spring/early summer skiing on its glacier through May and June.
The snow is wet and heavy at 2,000m but in more powdery shape up on glaciers above 3,000m. However many slopes are closed today due to white out conditions and moderate-high avalanche danger levels.
Skies are expected to clear tomorrow for what looks like being a great final few days of the winter season in France.

More evidence of upper atmosphere cooling. This was seen in Key West!
Key West, Florida, residents were treated to a rare and complex display of ice halos and other atmospheric phenomena on of May 2, 2023. The local National Weather Service office posted on Twitter: "Who else has been admiring the incredible halo/arc/sun dog display this evening?"
In addition to a 22-degree halo adorned with sundogs (parhelia), a more rare 46-degree halo was also present, as was an upper tangent arc, a Parry arc, and a circumzenithal arc. Such complex displays are most commonly seen in winter at high latitudes, but can be spotted anywhere on Earth at any time of year. Conditions only require widespread cirrostratus clouds made of ice crystals to be present high in the sky.
I thought the following article written by a British BBC meteorologist was interesting in how it potentially points to a shift to a period of cooling; in short: he believes in global warming but admits that the past winter was 1.3C colder than average, wetter than average - twice the usual - and this spring there's been less sunlight hours - half the average in the south - and spring has been 0.1C cooler than average. Bearing in mind that some of these weather stations - i.e. UK and Spain - are situated near/at airports, it may be that average temps were even cooler. He says that's how the weather used to be decades ago.
Altogether, this may go towards supporting the theory that the brief period of warming - that began in the 1990s/2000's (?) - that tends to precede significant cooling, is over; and we're back to the cooler temps of the 1970s, and potentially it'll get colder than that.
As an aside, the UK has a few water bans in force, and is threatening more, despite winter and spring being wetter than average...but more on that here: Potential Food and Energy Shortage Across the World

Here is an article, which pleasingly shows that not all scientists are biased by global ‘warming’ narrative.
Global warming: myth or reality?
Global warming: myth or reality?
The Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences on complex problems of Eurasian economic integration, modernization, competitiveness and sustainable development concluded that the human factor may not be so significant in the issue of global climate warming.
It is widely believed that industrial carbon dioxide emissions are the main source of global warming. According to the 2015 Paris Agreement, each of the signatory countries is obliged to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. However, a number of scientists in Russia believe that the original idea of signing an international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere was a pure PR campaign by American politician Albert Gore. They claim that such agreements are aimed at taking the energy of the planet under the control of certain entities in order for them to have levers of influence on the economies of different countries.
One of the causes of global warming may be the degassing of the Earth and the decay of the potassium isotope. Leonid Bezrukov, Chief Researcher at the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physico-Mathematical Sciences, speaks about the hypothesis of warming of the ocean and the Earth's surface in connection with the radioactive decay of the isotope potassium-40. He claims that the power of his heat flow is about 1 Watt per square meter, which is significantly more than the anthropogenic impact on the atmosphere.
The theory of the Soviet and Russian geologist, Doctor of Geological and mineralogical Sciences Vladimir Larin about the metal hydride composition of the Earth, due to which it expands with the release of hydrogen and other gases, may also be the cause of global warming. The decay of the potassium isotope, which, when adopting the Larin version, should be quite a lot in the composition of our planet, is the very energy that triggers the processes of the release of deep gases.
Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, leading researcher at the Faculty of Geology of Moscow State University Vladimir Seryokin notes that hydrogen is one of the main natural gases that destroys the ozone layer on the planet. Therefore, the degassing of the Earth and the release of hydrogen can also be the cause of global warming.
Thus, scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences came to the conclusion that the degassing of the Earth and the decay of the potassium isotope can have a decisive effect on global warming. However, this does not mean that the human factor does not play any role. For example, carbon dioxide emissions are still a significant source of global warming. In addition, it is necessary to take into account other factors, such as solar activity, changes in the Earth's orbit, etc.
Глобальное потепление: миф или реальность?
Научный совет РАН по комплексным проблемам евразийской экономической интеграции, модернизации, конкурентоспособности и устойчивому развитию пришел к выводу, что человеческий фактор может оказаться не столь значительным в вопросе глобального потеплениearth-chronicles.ru

Someone just posted another image of this event, which is similar, but at least one aspect of it can be seen in more detail; the 'halo' connecting the sun and it's reflections on the left and right. I think that's the first time i've seen that. The image was apparently taken on the same day in Belfast, Ireland:

Sweden • Unusual cool June nights& National cold record in Finland for the month o June.
2 June 2023
Already last evening while at work, I was aware that something appeared to be off with the (night) temperatures. Lately the nights have felt chilly - but is that enough to wonder ? (Though, I am still wearing my thick leather jacket and underpants). At the same time, i saw in the evening rather low values in places I would not expect them this time of the year. Such as; the tiny island in the Baltic Sea, between Gotland and Stockholm archipelago called Gotska Sandön, reporting only 4°C, and Visby on Gotland only 3°C. How strange, I thought... I mean, in June.
Freezing hands in sunshine
This morning, on my way home, the sun was shining - but boy it felt COLD ! (I saw plenty of dudes with shot pants and wondered... aren't they cold ?!) Standing at Gullmarsplan station in the southern city, around 06:00 - my hands felt freezing. How odd. Despite a temperature of not so unusual 6°C there, yet the windchill was 2-3°C... coming like an unbidden, unwanted memory of winter... in June !
This morning, SMHI, the Swedish Meteorological Institute, wrote an article about unusual cold June nights. Nice ! So, something was a bit off after all. Notice that in Southern Sweden, temperatures fell down to -1.7°C in a place called Hagshult, -1.5°C in Horn, and -0.4°C in the town of Kalmar located at the south east coast.
Here is the article:
Ovanligt kyliga juninätter | SMHI
Juni 2023 har inletts med ovanligt kyliga nätter både i norr och söder. Lokalt har det varit lägsta junitemperaturerna på 30-50 år. Från Finland rapporteras till och med nationellt köldrekord för juni.
Unusually cool June nights
Updated June 2, 2023 Published June 2, 2023
June 2023 has begun with unusually cool nights both in the north and south. Locally, there have been the lowest June temperatures in 30-50 years. Finland even reports a national cold record for June.
Analysis of the weather situation at 14:00 on June 1, 2023 • Illustration SMHI
The overall weather picture
is fairly typical for cold air outbreaks during the summer. We have an area of low pressure over northwest Russia and a powerful high pressure over the North Atlantic. Like a letter in the mail, northerly to northwesterly winds come over Scandinavia.
It is mainly stations in northernmost Sweden and coastal stations in southern Sweden that have experienced unusually cool June nights.
Fresh snow in the far north
Snow has also fallen in northern Lapland. Kiruna reported 4 cm of new snow on Thursday, June 1, and Karesuando and Lannavaara had 1 cm.
In Katterjåkk, the snow depth increased from 19 cm at noon on May 31 to a maximum of 31 cm on the morning of June 1.
In Abisko the maximum snow depth was 4 cm. To find a greater snow depth there in June, we have to go to June 12, 1981 when it was also 4 cm. Now it should be said that in both Abisko and Katterjåkk there are automatic snow depth meters with continuous measurements throughout the day. In the past, at best [only] one measurement per day was made.
[New National] Cold Record in Finland
At Finland's highest weather station, Kilpisjärvi Saana (1007 meters above sea level), it was -7.7° on 1 June 2023, which according to the Finnish weather service is a new Finnish June record. The previous record was -7.0° from Inari Laanila on June 3, 1962. However, measurements at the highest altitudes in Finland have not been taken for many decades.
Kilpisjärvi Saana is located near Treriksröset. Swedish stations in that area are at lower levels. For example, we have never had one on our northernmost mountain Pältsa.
In any case, -7.7° would not match the lowest June temperatures we have had at our highest stations. We only have to go to June 2, 2017 when it was -9.2° in Tarfala (1144 m). On June 2, 1907 it was -12.9° at Vassitjåkko (1372 m).

Chanshal Pass receives late heavy snowfall in Himachal Pradesh, India - 17.7 inches of snow
The Chanshal Pass near Rohru in Shimla district covered by a white blanket of snow on Thursday.
The Chanshal area near Rohru in Shimla district has received snowfall in the latest spell of precipitation, leaving the local people surprised. Many claim that it's probably the first time the place has received snowfall this late in summer.
"I don't remember having seen snowfall at Chanshal in late May. We can see 3-4 inches fresh snow in Chanshal area. This is something unprecedented," said Sanjeev Thakur, an orchardist from Rohru.
Meanwhile, the weather department said having snow at Chanshal at this time of the year was surprising and rare.. At Chanshal Pass, the department has recorded 45 cm snowfall. "Due to the heavy and continuous rains over the last few days, the temperatures have gone down significantly. The snowfall is the result of such low temperatures," said Surender Paul, Director, Meteorological Centre, Shimla.
Over the last few days, both maximum and minimum temperatures are way below normal. Today, the average maximum temperatures were over 9 degree Celsius less than normal. Both maximum and minimum temperatures over the next week are likely stay below normal.
Meanwhile, several places have received moderate to heavy rainfall over the last 24 hours. The places which received heaviest rainfall are Dharampur (87mm), Kasauli (80 mm), Kahu (75mm), Jatton Barrage (73mm), Sangrah 58 (mm), Naina Devi (54mm) and Solan (52mm). Due to the heavy precipitation, 34 roads have been closed and 18 transformers disrupted.

Part of this study states that several thousand km's of the Antarctic ice shelf have melted - which is what the climate crises people tend to latch onto to make their point. They almost never include the data that shows that other parts of the shelf are gaining in volume more than other parts are losing their volume - for what amounts to a significant net gain. A good point to make if ever talking about it this with someone I think.
It would be interesting to know if this process has accelerated since 2019 or has remained consistent throughout, btw.
Here are the numbers from the Watts Up With That site:

He compares what is happening now - coming year - to the events of 536 AD. Interesting.
A question: what was triggering the wave the quakes and volcanic eruptions ca 536 AD. Comets? Earth open up?
