‘Unseasonal Snowfall’ in South Korea, even NOAA data agrees

Unseasonal snowfall blanketed mountainous areas of Gangwon Province –located east of Seoul– on the final day of April, a time usually known by South Koreans for its summer-like warmth, reports yna.co.kr.
Late-Thursday, April 29, heavy rain turned into heavy snow up in the Gangwon mountains –which rise to some 1,300m (4,265ft) above sea level– and by early Friday morning, more than 15cm (6 inches) of global warming goodness had settled on and around the peak of Mount Seorak, according to national park officials there.

Similar accumulations were registered in other renowned Gangwon locales, such as Mount Balwang (pictured above) and Mount Odae, offering an historically early winter scenery, continued officials.
Even NOAA data reveals significant COOLING
The Sun just experienced its weakest solar cycle (24) of the past 100+ years, and the next one (25) isn’t looking any better, and the one after that (26) looks non-existent (NOAA). This sharp decline in solar activity is now, after a decade-or-so year lag, beginning to show-up on the global thermometer record.
Using the same data tool NOAA cites in a recent report (released Jan, 2020) as well as the same 5-year time-frame, it is revealed that U.S. temperatures declined at a staggering rate of 2.99F per decade between 2016-2020. This is a substantial drop, and one TWENTY-THREE TIMES the official global avg. rate of increase since 1880 cited in the NOAA report: “The global annual temperature has increased at an avg. rate of 0.07C (0.13F) per decade since 1880.”

Even the likes of NOAA, with their cherry-picking, UHI-ignoring, data-tampering ways are now struggling to hide the decline.

Hi PSI Readers,
Consider this recent history of SCIENCE.
Although now accepted, the theory of continental drift was rejected for many years, with evidence in its favor considered insufficient. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift)
“Worlds in Collision was first published on April 3, 1950, by Macmillan Publishers.[ ;;;The book, Velikovsky’s most criticized and controversial, was an instant New York Times bestseller, topping the charts for eleven weeks while being in the top ten for twenty-seven straight weeks.[3] Despite this popularity, overwhelming rejection of its thesis by the scientific community forced Macmillan to stop publishing it and to transfer the book to Doubleday within two months.4
“WHAT’S IN A NAME?” FROM DESIGNATION TO DENUNCIATION – THE NONCLASSICAL CATION CONTROVERSY*
Stephen J. Weininger, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
If one reads this article, one will not read what H. C. Brown reported in his Baker Lecture Series at Cornell University. (some time between late 1969 and 1971). The fundamental issue was that H. C. Brown, an eventual Nobel Prize Winner in chemistry, could not get his research results, which demonstrated that there was an alternative idea to the idea of the nonclassical cation, published in any established chemical journals.
Then there was the controversy involving small comets. If one goes to (http://smallcomets.physics.uiowa.edu/blackspot.html) and clicks on The Original Discovery one will get a brief excerpt from The Big Splash by Louis A. Frank with Patrick Huyghe, 1990. I finally read and found something I was looking for, except it is not directly from that at the U of Iowa website. I have no idea where I copied what follows.
“But the shabby treatment I’ve received at the hands of some science journals has continued. Last year, Nature rejected one of our team’s new small-comet papers by saying: “We are unable to conclude that the paper provides the sort of advance in understanding that would excite the immediate interest of a wide, general audience.”
“How wrong can you be? When we announced our results from Polar at the end of May, the story drew the attention of CBS, CNN, NPR, most of the major daily newspapers in this country.”
Finally, I read (https://electroverse.net/the-list-scientists-who-publicly-disagree-with-the-current-consensus-on-climate-change/): “A system is in place that makes it incredibly difficult, almost impossible, for scientists to take a public stance against AGW — their funding and opportunities are shutoff, their credibility and character smeared, and their safety sometimes compromised.” …
“Example: In 2014, Lennart Bengtsson and his colleagues submitted a paper to Environmental Research Letters which was rejected for publication for what Bengtsson believed to be “activist” reasons.” …
“Here is a passage from Bengtsson’s resignation letter from soon after: “I have been put under such an enormous group pressure in recent days from all over the world that has become virtually unbearable to me. If this is going to continue I will be unable to conduct my normal work and will even start to worry about my health and safety. I see therefore no other way out therefore than resigning from GWPF. I had not expecting such an enormous world-wide pressure put at me from a community that I have been close to all my active life. Colleagues are withdrawing their support, other colleagues are withdrawing from joint authorship etc. I see no limit and end to what will happen. It is a situation that reminds me about the time of McCarthy. I would never have expecting anything similar in such an original peaceful community as meteorology. Apparently it has been transformed in recent years.” (Lennart Bengtsson)”
Have a good day, Jerry

Snowfall in April in Korea might be unseasonal, but it is not unusual. At least in 1982, 1988, 1992 and 1993, Gangwon Province (mentioned in the article) had snow in April.
I do not know if snow ever fell this late in April.
