Where I live in NW MT. last night,I've lived here since 1986,and have only seen one other (spring) storm that was almost as bad,over 257 lightening strikes in an hour,and many,many more after that hour (and before) The sky was just a continuous rumble/roar/crash for almost 3 hours,the lightening lit up the sky for over 2 hours,with an eerie half light with brighter flashes. We were lucky,it only roasted our cordless phones (burnt the phone line in almost completely thru) Some of the neighbors,not so lucky a 100 foot tree was splintered,throwing rocks thru buildings,blowing the cover right off the phone box outside,and leaving 100 pound "toothpicks" thrown over 200 feet.......nasty spring weather

.
and they seem to hit when the crops are most vulnerable.

Just coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move on.

If you realize that the Earth's orbit around the Sun is Eliptical and are aware of Milankovich Cycles as well as the variable nature of total solar irradiance, a cool spring season makes sense.

This is judgment time. Many Bible prophecy prognosticators believe the seven year tribulation has begun but where is the A/C?

The scriptures say that the Church is restraining his appearance, 2Thes. 2:3-8, and will be raptured before the first horse of the apocalypse appears, Rev.6:1, the first seal.

So sorry to hear this. I hope that you and others were able to protect your crops as much as possible.
Jackets are helpful as are incandescent Christmas tree lights.

If you have a veggie garden, you should prepare to protect to cover it. if you do soybeans or corn, you usually wait to plant seeds until at least May 16. (Big field farmers) You can also use cold frames in your personal garden. You can do covering and other things to keep the fruit trees ok.
This is true for zone 6 in Southern Ohio. While tobacco can grow here, I do not grow it; so I do not know about it. So, my novice gardener, Mr. Turner, do not be too upset. A little practice can make for a good harvest still. It is a long drought that is rough. I have driven thru the corn fields just to pray for rain in those places. The Good Lord often responds. God blessl.

Weather Wars and Volcanoes off the chart. Bring wet, cold weather. Volcano ash blocking Sun.
We don’t need Bill Gates Sun Blocker) whatever that may be!

Yeah Temp where I live is 67 degrees not 28 degrees . We don't see too much hard freeze here .that's the northeast . down south it's warm and cozy. Clear and sunny Hal not a cloud in the sky .

I am in planting zone 7B and it was always safe to plant your garden after May 1 to avoid frost- always. This IS unusual and unexpected

Here in Michigan, depending on whose chart you use we are growing zone 4/5/6….confusing, so over the years we have used the ground temp as our guide.
At 45*, we plant potatoes, at 62* we plant most all other garden plants….then keep track of predicted weather. There’s usually that last, late freeze. When it’s forecasted, we water the above ground plants so the leaves are wet - this includes berry shrubs & fruit trees - then cover the rows…hooped plastic, cardboard boxes, vinyl tarps, etc. Most commercial fruit farmers in our area run large fans overnight to keep the air moving and avoid loss.

***with a short growing season, we set up a greenhouse w/heaters, fans & water system all powered by solar panels. Our panels have rain gutters to collect runoff into kiddie pools for watering the garden. We collect grass clippings (for our compost pile) from neighbors and trade produce in the fall. Lots of free fishing worms, too =)

Global warming, huh??

While weather modification certainly exists, this is a fairly regular thing. Now we never plant our garden before Memorial Day weekend because every time we did try, we got a frost. It's been like that since I was a little kid, which was a LONG time ago. Waiting for the downvotes ;)

Wait until your shoveling snow on memorial day then you can whine and cry!

Pill Gates wants to blot out the sun. The coat industry can't sell any coats while its hot? You and I are causing problems for the globalist while we are still moving around. Extinction of life is their final solution.
