It has snowed in 2 of the last 3 Mays. Last Mother's Day we had a quarter to half an inch of snow right down to the shoreline.

True true. Poor choice of words. More so just meant the comment section would look very different

I mean I would hope not again I don't like people making light of these kinds of things and the double standard and all that but it's such a good episode and I enjoy sick jokes

This winter was 3.7 and 5.1 degrees above normal at Bridgeport and Hartford respectively. In this part of the country where the weather and climate are about as stable as you can get, those kinds of departures from normal are pretty crazy for an entire season.

That trend actually started with defense attorneys, they believe the word RAPE, prejudices jurors automatically against the perp. This is why it is nearly always called sexual assault. It's been going on for at least a decade and started with attorneys not the press.
And it's been done to female victims as well as male. It has nothing to do with gender just protecting the one accused.

As Prince sang, Sometimes It Snows in April...
Anyone who's been around long enough to remember 1997 knows you can't really claim victory over winter until at least April 1. Snow is absolutely still possible later in April (here in the hills of Putnam/Dutchess Counties NY, I remember that we actually had a dusting on the ground in May of 2020...) but by that point overall temperatures/ground temperature is usually high enough that it all melts away pretty quickly if it even accumulates at all.
The two major snow dumps this month were already uncharacteristically late in the season. Winter started out mild mainly due to La Niña. La Niña is over now, hence a more "normal" winter rolling in at the eleventh hour. I wouldn't be surprised if Mother Nature has one more left in her.
Geographically dependent as well. If you're along the coast, honestly you're probably in the clear. In the mountains of NWCT I wouldn't be packing up snow gear until after Easter.

Seriously lol. “Grown man offers underage teenage girls alcohol at beach, lures one into the bathroom to sexually molest them”, people would be calling for the guy’s head

Rape is a form of sexual assault, so it's accurate to call it that, just maybe not specific

tbf, most of the comments are disgusted with her and the other ones are heavily downvoted

It’s due to the volcano that erupted near Australia in 2021. Next year is expected to be about the same (but a little more snow is expected).
And then we’re supposed to be back to normal in 2024.
Edit: volcano was early 2022, thought it was end of 2021. Happened in Tonga, South Pacific.

I honestly expected this South Park reference to be at the top of the comments

Lol house arrest. In order for a man in her position to get that they'd need to be a billionaire with access to reams of blackmail info on rich and powerful individuals.

Yeah but food chains might change over the course of the next 10 years, and my crops might not grow, but by all means we get to be lazy and not shovel snow.

The fact that teenagers are less likely to see the issue is kind of a major part of the problem here. A lot of teenagers would fall for this, it's exploitative, and rape.
