It was a confusing day for weather in much of the United States today as Northern Texas and the Plains were struck by tornadoes, snow, hail and flooding. Fortunately, tweeter Steve Goddard was there to make sense of it all with the help of some newspaper headlines and expert forecasts from years past. Take this one from just a year ago, for example.
Sad anniversary. Just over one year since the @nytimes announced the end of snowhttp://t.co/Q8Smbabthy pic.twitter.com/S2TOsOAcEB

Smart move by the Times to append that question mark to the headline.
It's Prom Night in Colorado. Floods, blizzards …

When I use the word "expert" I normally mean "slimeball generating wildly dishonest propaganda for the government"

The difference between government climate scientists and prostitutes, is that prostitutes perform a useful service and make people happy.

What about those drought conditions in Texas we’d heard about?
Three days ago, experts said that the Oklahoma/Texas border was having a drought worse than the Dust Bowl@KSWO_7NEWS pic.twitter.com/570bCc59Kh

@SteveSGoddard @KSWO_7NEWS Very similar.

It could be worse; it could be Australia, where permanent drought was declared “the new climate” seven years ago.

It wasn’t easy migrating to Antarctica, but it had to be done to survive.

A disastrous new ice age? That would be frightening if all of these projections weren’t strictly theoretical, the human race having died out decades ago.
