January 23, 2046 - In response to a recent viral video which highlighted the fact that snow does not seem to melt as quickly as it did several decades ago, National Department of Weather and Atmospheric Sciences (NSWAS) has reported that the melting point of snow, unlike ice, has always had a melting point of 46 degrees Fahrenheit, and has always appeared a light grey in color.
Jannet Willion, a spokesperson for NSWAS said in a press conference, "We understand that there has recently been a video circulating the web relating to the melting point of snow being much higher than in history. I am here to inform you today that this is nothing more than a combined result of the Mandela Effect and disinformation being spread by climate change deniers. I strongly encourage the public to rely on the information provided by our scientific community, not relying on what they find online. The standard of 46°F has always been the melting point of snow, at any point in history ever. And yes, snowstorms in the middle of June like we witnessed last year are a very common and normal occurrence, whether the public recalls it or not."
Self proclaimed online "Truthers" however are not convinced. Some are suggesting that up until the recent decades, snow was a very bright white color (not the light grey which we see today) and had a melting point of 32°F. Regardless of this being debunked by renowned scientists around the globe, there seems to be some resistance to the seemingly late snowfall in June of 2045, which climate scientist are citing as "proof that the combined efforts to reduce climate change around the globe are immensely effective."
Farmers around the globe are also reporting of much greater crop loss due to heavy snowfalls in late spring months, with one claiming that "when my dad was running the farm back in his day, he never had to worry about his crops being wiped out by 2 feet of snow in June. now they are saying this is normal? I don't buy it."
In unrelated news, due to the unexplained shortages in grain production throughout the midwest, there is a large increase in citizens relying on government rations for food.
