Frost in June?
Woke up at 4:30 this morning and checked the weather forecast. Says it's currently -1. Went out and covered my pepper plants and lettuce. Thermometer says -2. (I'm in east central Alberta).
Looks like the carbon tax is doing it's job. Seriously, we should be burning more fossil fuels, not less.

It’s snowing where I am right now. People have short memories. That’s why climate change gets the traction it does.

Lot's of frost here this morning. Snow is far more common here this time of year than frost is

if we only knew where you are....
was cold enough here near Boyle for a heavy layer of frost on the vehicles. might be an issue for the farmers, small seedlings might not survive. here in my yard the dandelions and clover are showing frost damage, it all depends on how long and how frosty. my hummingbirds made it through the night ok though.

This is true. My FB memories has been reminding me of various weather over the years since I've been on there and 2011 was an especially cool year with snow and frost warnings right up until now, actually.
I've seen snow in July and August but as you said, people forget the weather from year to year so it's easy to program with climate hysteria

I’ve seen snow in every month of the year around here. Only shocking to the climate change enthusiasts.
If you want summer in summer and winter in winter you just need to pay more taxes

Snowed a little here (north of Edmonton) yesterday afternoon. Frost this morning.
Sucks for the berry crops but what can you do. Not the first time, not the last time. Just glad we don’t have smoke
