That's why we use the term "Climate Change". A freak heat wave and a freak blizzard both show that climate is changing, and not for the best.

Two sides of the same coin, we're fucking up our climate.

I think part of what makes people skeptical is that even if there was no anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere, there would still be these so-called "freak events". There were big hurricanes in the US's Revolutionary War era, for example, that had huge impacts on naval forces in the Caribbean. If climate change truly was a total hoax, believers could still point at a myriad of extreme weather events and say "look, climate change is real".

Freak events don't show anything, that's why they are freak events.

Yes, they do show things. When freak events happen over and over, year after year, that's a bad sign, and shows that things are changing.
