While Sen. Inhofe (R-OK, and chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee) threw a snowball in the US Senate to demonstrate how "global warming" is obviously a hoax, the other half the nation was suffering from a much warmer than usual February.
Here in Denver, we had prolonged periods of warmth, but also record-breaking snowfall quantities.

February was one of the most extreme months in U.S. weather history
Depending on where you live, February was either one of the coldest such months on record (the East) or the warmest (the West).
Yeah, we got almost no snowpack here, which will hurt the area come summer.
