Climate hysteria: When you don't have real heat, use the heat index

LOL WaPo: "Global warming has brought a steady increase in average temperatures"
Except it hasn't. Average temperature in Phoenix is still running 1 deg. F below normal year-to-date.
Mean average annual temperature in Phoenix is 72.2 deg. F since 1895. Year-to-date it's 72.9. In 1974, the year of its big June heat wave, it was 73.1. The hottest year ever by average temperature was six years ago, when Phoenix averaged 77.3.
WaPo didn't check apparently, or simply omitted the inconvenient data.
Same with Reno, NV and Las Vegas, NV, both of which are mentioned in the story.
Reno is running 2.8 deg. F below normal year-to-date. Las Vegas is running 2.4 deg. F below normal.
El Paso is indeed setting records, but year-to-date its average temperature is still only 1.5 deg. F above normal. Annualized it would make the top ten warmest years ever, but the year is far from over.
Either way, WaPo is simply full of it, as usual.
It's also worth mentioning the special pleading going on.
WaPo cites the June 1974 Phoenix climatological records as proof that it's hotter now than during that heat wave:
Temperatures have averaged above 101 degrees in Phoenix over the past 17 days. That is significantly hotter than another record-setting heat wave, when the city surpassed 110 degrees on 18 consecutive days in 1974. During that stretch, temperatures averaged 96.5 degrees.
The June 1974 data is the same data The Weather Gods have now declared unreliable, but WaPo wants to have it both ways when the micro-average-comparisons are convenient, you know, like Hillary or Hunter, one law for me, another for thee:
Reliable observation times are not available prior to 1982.

Ice-Out for The Nenana Ice Classic is going to be delayed, but it's too late to buy your ticket anyway
All-time April low could fall in Alaskan city :
"A cold snap this extreme in April hasn’t been experienced in the Fairbanks area since 1911, when three consecutive record lows were set from April 9-11," Duff said. Two of these record lows are likely to be challenged during the latest cold wave, including Thursday night’s record of minus 16 F and Friday night’s record of minus 32 F.
Hey! Where's the rope on that thing?
Earliest Ice-Out ever since 1917 was April 14 (2019).

Global Warming Freezes Lake Erie For First Time in 14 Years
Following a cold snap in the Northeast, Lake Erie's surface is virtually frozen over for the first time in about 14 years.
The ice ranges in thickness between paper thin along the northern shore and several inches along the southern shore, where many people are ice skating.
GoErie.com reports that the lake hasn't completely frozen since the winter of 1995-1996. ...
Lake Erie, with an average depth of 62 feet, is the most shallow of the five Great Lakes, which is why it is the only one that completely freezes over.
