According to conservatives, there is no such thing as climate change hence no global warming.
"We the people" is a popular tattoo for the anti-government, gun toting crowd.
I wonder how they square that with Clinton's popular vote margin.

Apparently the current administration thinks it says "We the oligarchs".

There's nothing wrong with this weather -- It's April!
Besides, it was snowing in Germany over Easter, so be grateful.

I'm encouraged that so many people know those wonderful starting words...We the people.... Those three words are writ large, literally and figuratively.

First three words of the Constitution: "We the people".

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

And woe to those who VIOLATE their oath as Public Servants (OUR servants) to preserve, protect and defend it!

So I see you watched schoolhouse rock on ABC in the 70's. :)
I remember when all elementary school children had to learn those words. We didn't understand everything exactly, but much was clear: Justice, Tranquility, common defense, general Welfare, the Blessings of Liberty.
And the "United States of America." United, not divided into bitterly partisan pockets, into stubborn ignorance, and gun-toting smugness.

To make that May 11th weather stabilization date just a little easier to remember: :)
May 11th Forecast - a tribute to yesterday's (now gone) weather
tune of "California Dreaming"
All the sleeves are short, cold has gone away
Finished our returns, on this April day
We had a warm feeling, and our hair was okay
May 11th forecast, on such an April day
Stopped at a Duane Reade, we passed along the way
Well we had to buy some stamps, we had some tax to pay
You know they told us they’re all out, there was a run today
May 11th forecast, on such an April day
All the sleeves are short, and the sky’s like May
Left our jackets home, on this April day
E-filed an extension, so now we’re okay
May 11th warming, on such an April day
May 11th warming, on such an April day
May 11th warming, on such an April day.

Hey, Freddie!
I *love* The Beach Boys ... Pet Sounds is the best!
' God Only Knows ...' my gosh, just fills your heart.
I had a question, How was your tax prep season? Are you happy it is the day after or are you still busy busy with those extension seekers ;) ?
and now I have a second question, Did you get to watch The Beach Boys documentary, Making Pet Sounds?
ok, stay warm out there
thanks for making us smile & hum.

I love the Beach Boys too, but it seems you're confusing the artist group who recorded "California Dreamin'" with them...
All the same, great '60s music, and Freddie's rewrite made me smile!

I find the emergence of leaves on trees is always a barometer to April's weather fortunes. It usually seems to take several consecutive days of 65-70 degrees or higher to really push them out. So we had 85 on Sunday but we're down in the 50s today, which will likely keep things at half-bloom state, until another warm air mass helps them along further. When the leaves finally do come out in full, it really tells you we're on our way to summer.

Wow, you guys are weather obsessed. Strange considering that weather has less of an affect on urban life, then it does on suburban or rural living in open areas.
It is spring--April showers and all that. The period between winter and summer. Of course the weather will fluctuate. That is no news flash. Enjoy the spring--the sights, sounds and smells. Enjoy it before the summer heat descends on us.

I'd argue that urbanites are far more affected by the weather than people elsewhere. We have to walk in it constantly and many of us don't own cars to serve as shelters from the elements. And in my Brooklyn neighborhood, the pollen levels are sky-high right now from all of the blooming trees (as my itching eyes will attest).

Brian--
Valid points---but I've spent 3 decades in Brooklyn and 3 decades in upstate NY--trust me, when the blooming trees are on your lawn or immediately behind your house, and the wind comes unobstructed from tree to nostril, you know that you are no longer in Bay Ridge.
Apples and oranges I guess. Weather affects everyone amigo.

"Wow, you guys are weather obsessed."
Well, Billy from Brooklyn, when my rose buds, encouraged by a protracted February thaw, emerge early and then are frozen solid; when my little snowdrops and grape hyacinths are lulled by unseasonable sunshine into popping and then are zapped by ice, then yes, I'm concerned about the weather.
At over sixty years old, I've seen spring creep in earlier every year, despite freak freezes in March. And although I can remember breath-sappingly hot summers, I do not recall such steady heat. Nor do I recall such brief, snowless winters.
For the record, my family put away the winter wools today and took out the T-shirts; this winter, we hardly used them. Every year, the time-honored switching of the closets occurs later in autumn and earlier in spring. As our miserable excuse for a president would tweet, "Sad!"
