Personally, I'd trade some of our warmth for Alaska's cold but don't get to make that decision.

On a weather note, the next's weeks evolution of the 500 mb height field is profoundly strange (very amplified...with an apparent mid continent "Rex-block" forming) and reminds me of a summertime pattern. Unless that big blocking ridge forecast to form over the west can shift well to the west, they'll be not much possibility of a winter left for the lower 48.
they will probably say that
Thanks Patrap. Not quite sure how I did that...finger trouble :)
Neo, be nice.
You are certainly entitled to your own belief, but what you stated is far too close to that of the ignorant ancients who simply ascribed a supernatural cause to everything they saw and experienced because they lacked the scientific knowledge to figure it out. Thunder was an angry god muttering; rain was the god crying; famine was the god's punishment; and so on. No, looking at something intricate and complex in the natural world and saying, "I don't understand it, so it must be The Great Being In The Sky who did it" isn't a type of logic with which I'm comfortable. ;-)
Lol..You sound like a grouchy old curmudgeon Nea..But your post is true..Back then, if they did not understand an act or event of nature, it must have been something supernatural or a God. It is however possible all things happen and exist because of God or a form of super-intelligence...I think it was Ovid that said" Man creates Gods by the dozen, but cannot even make a worm..:)
Temperatures are set to go down to -25/-30 C tonight in some areas across Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova & Ukraine.
That data usually gets published a few days after the end of the month.
I suspect the Earth is actually slightly warmer over all. We may even be in the top 10 warmest January.
What you're seeing is the NH, and look how much bigger the sum of the red areas are compared to the blue.
Plus, this is a projection of a hemisphere onto a disk. The area of the red blotches over the continental U.s. and over Africa, the middle east, and China are all severely "fore-shortened".
If you could see this map as an actual rotatable globe, like say in "Google Earth", you'd see that there isa hell of a lot more dark red than there is dark blue.

(I don't brake for trolls!)
@Nea: I was stating that because of our understanding, not ignorance, of the complexities of even the simplest process in nature we should seek to know the Greater Being who created it all in the first place.. Science does in no way contradict God.. it proves His existence if anything.. if you take what we have discovered about the natural order up to this point, how can you not see the statistical impossibility of the Earth and the life on it? Granted.. if you are not able to go beyond the limits of intellect you can not apprehend spiritual concepts.. BUT.. if you can at least ask God to show Himself to you He will.. in His own way in His own time.. you just gotta ask..
I am asking Him why my trees are budding in January?!
50,000 years of programming will do that.
As we slide down the Timewave Zero to the eschaton, expect a lot more radical Novelty in Nature and the World in General.
This barely raised a blip yesterday, as the "disclosure" is imminent from the Vatican to CNN.
Global New's
Your assertion was incorrect so I used the opportunity to show it. Nothing more.
I respect all opinions.
Fresca?
Everything is relative to the observer, the observer in Nebraska,would rightly so, differ from one in Europe this Winter, one could say
Figure 1. Departure of global temperature from average for 2011. The Arctic was the warmest region, relative to average. Image credit: NASA Earth Observatory.
2011: Earth's 11th warmest year; where is the climate headed?
I'm going out on a limb and guessing it's part of a submerged temple complex from an unknown 12,000 year old civilization.
You can find all sorts of stuff from several thousand years ago in the English Channel and the Baltic Sea.
Agreed. I think they did say it was only 300 feet or so in depth, so its very shallow, but isn't that an area where a glacier was in place throughout the last ice age?....If it was then then you may have to put that date back even further which be fascinating.
P.S. A quick FYI: that chart says "redistribution prohibited" at the bottom--and Ryan Maue is a member here. ;-)
My assertion was incorrect? It was an observation. There was no emotional agenda there at all. Shall I spell it out for you? F.A.C.T.S.
Now that is an emotional agenda.

(AP) SPICEWOOD - Tanker trucks loaded with water have become the lifeline for a Texas lakefront village that came precariously close to becoming the state's first community to run out of drinking water during a historic drought.
Spicewood got its first delivery of water Monday under dark clouds and rain. The 8,000-gallon water delivery arrived after it became clear the village's wells could no longer produce enough water to meet the needs of the Lake Travis community's 1,100 residents and elementary school, said Clara Tuma, spokeswoman of the Lower Colorado River Authority.
The town uses wells, not the nearby lake, for its drinking water. Ryan Rowney, manager of water operations for the authority, said it plans to truck water into the Central Texas town for several more weeks while exploring alternatives, including drilling a new well or piping water from Lake Travis. But the agency doesn't want to rush into any project, and prefers for now to pay $200 per truckload of water while ensuring the tens of thousands of dollars it will cost to find a permanent solution are well-spent.

Several towns and villages in Texas have come close to running out of water during the driest year in Lone Star State history, but until now none has had to truck in water. Most found solutions to hold them over, often paying tens of thousands of dollars to avoid hauling water, a scenario that conjures up images from the early 1900s, when indoor plumbing was a novelty.
"The hauling of water is just a Band-Aid approach. It's just a short-term approach," said Joe Don Dockery, a Burnet County commissioner that oversees the Spicewood area.
The Lower Colorado River Authority realized last week how dire the situation was, and informed Dockery on Monday. By the next day, the situation was worse - the well had dropped an additional 1.3 feet overnight. The severest forms of water restrictions were put in place, and the authority said there would be no new hookups to the town's water supply.
Water still ran Monday through pipes and faucets of Spicewood. But instead of being pumped from wells into the community's 129,000-gallon storage tank - a two day's supply of water - the already treated liquid will be hauled in from 17 miles away, treated a second time and put into the town's water system.
"If we need to haul every day, we will. This will probably go on for several more months," Rowney said.
Trucks, including at least one 6,000 gallon tanker, will make about four or five deliveries a day, Rowney said, but the town will still have to remain under the severest water restrictions.
"All you can do is take a bath, a shower, and that's really all you're allowed to do. You can flush the commode, but even that we're asking people to do judiciously," Rowney said.
Spicewood, about 35 miles from Austin, is home to many retirees who spend their weekdays in the city and drive to their lakeside homes on the weekends. Residents are now being careful, taking shorter showers, and some are even bringing their clothes to Laundromats.
"Hiding within the errors of measurement" is really not a good way to state this. A bit misleading, one might say.
From the article:
"The original study found that the Earth's temperature, which had been steadily rising, slowed its pace. But the new study notes that the methods for measuring characteristics of the ocean shifted in 2003.
When accounting for the margin of error of both methods employed, the new study states that the apparent decline is "not statistically significant, nor is it observed by CERES."
Currently, data on the ocean is collected via the Argo program, which has dropped more than 3,000 floats in saltwater around the world. As the floats sink and rise, they measure the temperature and salt content of the water up to a depth of 1.25 miles (2,000 meters).
"Our data show that Earth has been accumulating heat in the ocean at a rate of half a watt per square meter (10.8 square feet), with no sign of a decline," Loeb said."

Yeah, it's a good prank, but it probably would have been better done in spot no quite as sensitive to flying objects as NYC. I'm surprised a couple of F-16's didn't show up to investigate.
