Yes. Because it broke a long standing national record by multiple degrees (celsius). This isn't a case of it being "hot out", this is brand new climate frontiers.

If we want to get technical, too, the "snow" or "polar vortex" weather is because of the global warming induced breakdown in the arctic circumpolar vortex. That is the same reason that is snowed in Texas this past winter.

We are extremely seriously fucked.
