And what does that have to do with global warming? I asked in a thread
earlier when the unscientific right will say that global warming isn't
happening because an arctic front has moved south. I think I have my
answer!

Not really. You are the only one using the term "global warming". "Climate
change" does not necessarily equate to global warming. The high today in my
location is 45 and clear, relative humidity 48%. Yesterday it was 54 and
cloudy, relative humidity 68%. That's climate change.

Climate is long term, weather (which you are talking about here) is
short term.
