Ugh, late April/early May frost is absolutely brutal for anyone with fruit trees or early vegetable plantings. Been watching the forecasts, hoping it doesn't drop too much below freezing for too long. This could wipe out a lot of early season stuff.

So much for spring, huh? Guess I'll keep the winter coat out. Global warming, everyone!

It's a 'rare' event, not unprecedented. Weather patterns can get weird. We had a freak snow in May back in '96 here in Romania. Nothing new under the sun.

An omega block this late in the season affecting such a large area is pretty unusual. The jet stream must be really contorted. Definitely gonna hit growers hard in Poland and Ukraine.
