Snow this time of year? Yes!

 Climate change or fully deranged


Yes, snow in late November is very common across much of the United States and is well-documented in historical weather records dating back over a century. While the northern and mountainous regions often see their first measurable snow (at least 0.1 inches) in October, much of the Midwest, Northeast, and interior West typically experiences it by mid-to-late November. Southern areas might wait until December, but even there, November snow events aren't unheard of. I'll break this down with some context, historical examples, and what's happening right now.Historical Records of Late November Snow in the USWeather records from the National Weather Service (NWS), NOAA, and regional climate centers show that November snow is routine in many areas, with some of the most notable events occurring around Thanksgiving week (late November). Here's a quick overview:Average First Snow Dates: Based on 30-year climate normals (1991–2020), the first measurable snow typically arrives by late November in places like Chicago (November 14), New York City (November 29), and Denver (October 18, but with variability into November). In the Midwest and Northeast, over 70% of locations see snow by November's end.

Notable Late-November Snow Events:November 20–21, 2015 (Midwest Blizzard): One of the snowiest early-season storms on record, dropping 19 inches in Chicago (the city's highest first-snow total ever) and up to 18 inches in South Dakota and Wisconsin. It set records for November snowfall in Madison, WI (second-highest two-day total since 1884) and caused over 800 flight cancellations.

November 17–21, 2014 (Buffalo, NY Lake-Effect Storm): 88 inches fell in Buffalo, the heaviest November total ever recorded there, paralyzing the region.

November 23–26, 2019 (Thanksgiving Week Blizzard): Up to 21.7 inches in Duluth, MN (a November two-day record), with widespread impacts from the West Coast to the Midwest.

November 24–25, 1971 (Northeast Storm): 22.5 inches in Albany, NY—one of the largest single November totals on record for the city.

November 20, 1879 (Southeast Flurry): 1.5 inches in Wilmington, NC, still the earliest measurable snow on record for that area.

These events highlight how late November often brings the season's first big snow due to cooling temperatures and early winter storms. Records go back to the late 1800s for many stations, and November snow has been noted in every decade since.For a visual sense of earliest records across cities, here's a table of select examples (measurable snow ≥0.1 inches):City/Region

Earliest Recorded Snow Date

Amount/Notes

New York City, NY

October 10, 1873

Trace; typical first snow by late November

Chicago, IL

November 20, 2015 (first storm record)

19 inches; average first: Nov 14

Denver, CO

September 2, 1961

But late Nov common; 2025 first snow tied for 4th-latest on Nov 17

Buffalo, NY

October 6, 1903

Heavy Nov events frequent due to lake-effect

Atlanta, GA

November 11, 1968

Rare, but possible in cold snaps

Wilmington, NC

November 20, 1879

1.5 inches; earliest on record

Sources for this data include NOAA's Climate.gov and NWS regional summaries.Current Snow Reports (as of November 22, 2025)Snow is indeed falling right now in parts of the US, aligning with the historical norms for this time of year. Recent arctic blasts and lake-effect bands have brought fresh snow:Midwest/Great Lakes: A major storm on November 20–21 dumped 4–7 inches in Milwaukee and Madison, WI (second- and tenth-highest late-fall totals on record), with up to 18 inches in southern Wisconsin (e.g., Beloit) and 17 inches near Footville. Chicago saw 1–3 inches earlier in the week.

Northeast: Lake-effect snow continues downwind of the Great Lakes, with 18 inches reported in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (Negaunee) over the Veterans Day weekend. Western NY is seeing ongoing flurries.

South/East Coast: Record-early flurries hit the Carolinas and Virginia on November 10–11, with 0.1 inches in Lumberton, NC (earliest ever) and dustings along the NC/VA coasts. Wilmington, NC, nearly matched its 1879 record.

West/Mountains: Higher elevations in Colorado, the Rockies, and Pacific Northwest have 1–3 feet of base snow from early November storms. Arizona Snowbowl opened early on November 20 with 37 inches from a recent system.

If you're in a specific US location, I can dig into more tailored reports—just let me know! Overall, this November's snow aligns with patterns seen in records from the 1800s onward, driven by seasonal cooling and storm tracks.

Tucker anti western propoganda

 Tucker's Qatar Claim: Fact-Checking the "Zero Rapes" MythTucker Carlson recently claimed on his podcast (August 2025) that Qatar has "zero rapes" under Sharia law, using it to argue that Islamic legal systems outperform Western democracies in maintaining order. During an interview with Seth Harp, he praised Sharia for low reported crime, low abortion rates, and no same-sex marriage—positioning it as a model for conservatives frustrated with American liberalism.This is propaganda wrapped in contrarianism—cherry-picked stats that ignore harsh realities. Here’s the breakdown:The Claim's Flaw: "Zero Rapes" Isn't Safety—It's SuppressionOfficial stats vs. reality: Qatar reports near-zero rapes because Sharia-based laws make reporting dangerous for victims. Rape requires four male Muslim witnesses (or a confession), or it's treated as zina (adultery/fornication). Women who report assault often face imprisonment, flogging, or worse for "e...

Qatar Anti-Anerican funding

  Qatar's Spending Overview Qatar, a major Gulf state with significant oil and gas revenues, channels funds through government entities like the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Foundation, and state-linked charities (e.g., Qatar Charity). These often support humanitarian, educational, and political goals but have drawn criticism for advancing Qatari foreign policy interests, including ties to Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Below, I break down spending in the requested categories based on public reports, FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) filings, U.S. Department of Education disclosures, and analyses from think tanks like ISGAP and the Middle East Forum. Figures are approximate and cumulative where specified; recent years (2023–2025) show acceleration amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. 1. Funding to American Colleges Qatar is the largest foreign donor to U.S. higher education, primarily via the Qatar Foundation (a state-controlled entity) for branc...

EU and X

 LEFT WING RESEARCHERS WANT TO LIMIT RIGHT WING DIALOGE! The EU's DSA requirement for researcher data access (Article 40) gives "vetted" researchers—typically academics or non-profits approved by national regulators—easier access to public X data like post engagement, views, and networks. The official goal is studying "systemic risks" (e.g., disinformation spread). Critics argue this can chill or deter honest/open dialogue in these ways:Broad and subjective labeling of "disinformation" or "harmful" speech: Researchers studying political topics can flag dissenting or unpopular views (e.g., on immigration, elections, gender issues, or COVID policies) as "misinformation" if they don't align with mainstream narratives, leading to reports that pressure platforms or governments to suppress them. Doxxing and harassment risks: Detailed data (e.g., who engages with controversial posts) can reveal user networks or identities, even if post...
