More Evidence Of Global Warming

From the January 1, 2008 Worcester [Mass.] Telegram & Gazette:

New Hampshire residents awoke up yesterday to big flakes, gusting winds and a treacherous morning commute as the latest in a string of storms piled more snow onto what was already on the ground from the state’s snowiest December in more than a century.

Concord saw 10.1 inches, beating its December record — 43 inches in 1876 — by an inch and a half. Elsewhere in the state, Wolfeboro got 13 inches.

From the December 31, 2007 News-Press:

Record-breaking temperatures are expected to arrive in Southwest Florida on Wednesday and Thursday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for West Central and Southwest Florida.

The weather service e is warning that a strong cold front will move across the Florida Peninsula Tuesday ushering in much colder and drier air.

A freeze watch is in effect for the overnight period of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. A combination of cold weather and winds will produce low wind chill temperatures.

The coldest night is expected to be Wednesday night-Thursday morning. Freezing temperatures are expected inland.

Predictions range from 37 to 31 degrees in Lee County. Temperatures are expected to drop even lower. The record low for Lee County on Jan. 2 is 37 degrees in 1949. The record low for Jan. 3 is 34 degrees set in 1979.

From the December 29, 2007 Farmingon [N.M.] Daily Times:

SAN JUAN COUNTY — Plumbers throughout San Juan County had their day cut out for them when they opened their doors for business Friday: A long day of thawing people's frozen pipes. "I'll bet I've had at least 30 calls and I could only take 10 because my guys were already scheduled for other things," said Christine Hopper of Home Plumbing and Heating. "I can't believe people weren't watching the Weather Channel last night. It said we were going to get really cold." An overnight low of 2 degrees tied a record for Dec. 28, set first in 1990. "There's a gap in data for the airport, but the record low temperature recorded at Farmington Agricultural Sciences Center is 2 degrees and was set in 1990," Amanda Abeyta, of the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, said.

From December 28, 2007 KWTX channel 10 (central Texas):

(December 28, 2007)—How cold was it Thursday morning?
Cold enough to tie the record low for the date, the National Weather Service says.

The temperature dropped to 24 degrees Thursday morning, tying the previous record set in 1938.

From the December 31, 2007 Wisconsin State Journal:

But 2000 also logged a record for cold — with a temperature of minus 21 at 1 a.m. Christmas Day, surpassing the previous low of minus 15 set on Dec. 25, 1983. And 2000's record snow and cold caused the roof of the Dane County Coliseum — now the Alliant Energy Center — to reach its load limit, forcing postponement of a Harlem Globetrotters game.

Until global warming advocates start to die of frostbite while attending conferences on Bali, or start being mauled to death by polar bears attending conferences in San Francisco, the evidence will continue to be selectively used by the news media.
