Gosh!!! It's spring again.

Why was there so much snow to melt? 🧐

SO?

All warned decades ago.... people ignore the warnings, police arrest those wanting to change the world for the better & harass environmentalists who care about the planet & children’s future. Alternative energies available,oil corporations & greedy psychotic businessmen continue.

Same Thing happened in Oregon December 1964 before this asinine climate change propaganda began. Good Grief people, look at history, educate yourself!

This year is the most prolific year from the last 30 years

By 'climate change' do you mean the changing seasons? Winter into spring, spring into summer, summer in to autumn, autumn back to winter. It's almost like it's been happening for millions of years!!

I didn't know that melting snow could cause a flood.

PresidentTwidiot will be weighing in soon, he’ll recommend plowing sooner to avoid melting - by far the smartest individual on the planet, he has solutions for everything- except how to be president, how to not lie, how to not be a divisive racist bully DICKtatorDon

Send in AC360 and find him a ditch to stand in.
