More proof of global warming, folks!
Under clear skies and a snowy landscape, the temperature plunged to 14 degrees at Vance Brand Airport at 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning, smashing the previous record low for the date of 24, set in 1989.
The morning low is the lowest temperature ever recorded in Longmont during the month of May, according to Times-Call weather consultant Dave Larison. Previously, the lowest reading for the month was 18 degrees, set on May 1, 1989, and May 5, 1917.

I don't know how significant the temperature in one place on one day is supposed to be compared to a global phenomenon.
But perhaps you would care to comment on another phenomenon: The current wildfires in California. They're happening in early May which is about 3 months earlier than usual. What do you make of that in a global warming context?
And if there are raging wildfires in May, I just wonder what it's going to be like in the dog days of August, not to mention all the time in between now and then.
