Plus, there have been new snowfall records, almost unheard of in summer.
See the table:

Daily records Tmax=368 Tmin =1072
Monthly records Tmax=6 Tmin= 17
3 new snow records.
I had noted earlier this year that the data feed from NCDC that allowed independent plotting of high/low temperature records has suddenly disappeared.
HAMweather has been running this map of record events for several years, and I have used it frequently in WUWT reports.
Yet, mysteriously, since February NCDC appear to have yanked the data feed, as they been showing no new records for several months.
Paul Homewood points out that even PBS is affected by this outage:
===============================================================
It was not long ago that we were bombarded with claims of record high temperatures in the US. For instance, PBS introduced their new widget in 2011, shown above, to track daily records.
As they pointed out:
We’ve built this widget so our viewers can understand the significance of the heat, not only in terms of raw degrees, but in a format that compares today’s temperatures to previous record highs.
As of last September, it was still running. (Not that they cared to show record daily lows as well!)
===============================================================
With cold records outnumbering high records this year, it makes you wonder if NOAA’s NCDC might want to keep the reporting of these things close to home. I’ve seen no explanation as to why the data feed of high/low/precip and snow records stopped this year.
If anyone knows of it, leave a note in comments.
Freezing to death is not incosistent with glabal warming!
Cold is the new warm
Would not the number of ‘Low Max’ days be more important than the number of ‘high max’ days? It would suggest that there are a lot more below-normal days going on.
…business as usual
In the UK the Met Office is forecasting that tonight could see record low temperatures for August.
The ‘Great Cooling’ cometh.
“I had noted earlier this year that the data feed from NCDC that allowed independent plotting of high/low temperature records has suddenly disappeared.”
“..it makes you wonder if NOAA’s NCDC might want to keep the reporting of these things close to home. I’ve seen no explanation as to why the data feed of high/low/precip and snow records stopped this year.”
Let’s just let those mischievous innuendos hang to give the conspiracy zealots time to tune in
Excellent analysis. It’s cooooling……

Anthony, I hate to inquire, but have you tried asking NOAA for the reason why the NDCC updates reports are missing? I’ve seen you ask these sorts of questions before and getting responsible answers.
This sort of report is incomplete until that is done.
My local “concerned citizens” have fallen strangely silent about CAGW, CC or whatever these last few months.
We have had the wood stove going here , north of 60, these last few nights.
Leaves are turning on some trees, feels like late September.
But I am sure the talking head from Environment Canada will be back soon, assuring us all that its the warmest year ever.
this post of Anthony’s made the DrudgeReport.
That exponentially increases the public exposure of this information about NCDC’s “data stewardship” activities.
In a quaint, by-gone era, NCDC could adhere to it’s mission statement:
“A Trusted Authority on Weather and Climate Information —
The Nation needs a trusted authority on weather and climate information. Every day, governments, businesses, and individuals make long-term decisions—affecting lives and livelihoods—that require an accurate understanding of the natural environment. NCDC is well positioned to respond to this need by building upon sixty-one years of data and customer-focused science, service, and stewardship.”
– Apparently now that it is cooling, other political needs trump being a “trusted authority”.
If you need more proof of manmade global warming climate disruption change here it is!
Everyone knows that warming all over the entire globe makes record cold temperatures, and that the weather never changed before Al Gore had to change the name of global warming to climate change….

Whenever something disappears, suspect cold or no warming. Why can’t they understand that we just want the facts?
Is there or has there been a report on “streaks”? Here in Texas in August we are accustomed to the nightly news telling us we have had, for example, 11 days of temperatures with highs above 100 — or whatever, and that the “last time we had such as streak was” whatever year during the Dust Bowl or something. This year, we haven’t had such news ledes. I’m curious about how likely or unlikely it is for a metro area to break a “streak” record — however such a streak is recorded.
Though, to be honest, the whole concept seems like a TV sportscaster’s analysis of weather than any kind of science or statistics. Still…
Declining summer snowpack in Montana.
Global warming hits Scotland hard.
It’s not just the US. Brrrrrr.
As Dr. David Viner of CRU said in 2004…….
“Unfortunately, it’s just getting too hot for the Scottish ski industry.”
I am more concerned about man made pollution .Stop being slobs pick up youre garbage .Stop throwing it out car windows.You are more likely to die from disease swimming in the filth we created in or waters then Global warming.Nobody wants to swim with illegally dumped needles and feces when we visit our Ocean Beaches during the summer time.
See no snow feel no cold.
What does a Drudge link do to your stats, Anthony?
[Reply: So far, not much. ~mod.]
Like posted prior got a buddy who goes to Glacier Nat Park to cool off every year he called early today snow on his pop up camper near “goat haunt” area there, so I thought it would be cool to see it via the web cam at the site.
Surprise that one web cam is down.
It really starts to become scary, august is far below normal, appr. 3 oC. If this winter will be colder than normal I have to make my plans effective the coming year.

But, Jimbo! I’m sure that the arctic is running at least 20 C above normal! (Well, we really don’t know because we don’t have any temperature stations up there[LOL]…but it IS possible.) Trenberth’s Missing Heat(tm) !! Catastrophic ice melting!!! Aiieeegghhhghghhghgh….

This is obviously because all the heat is stuck in a hole in the Bermuda Triangle.
I hope that this “outage” is caused by some sort of equipment failure. If scientists and people in authority are intentionally hiding this information, it is clear evidence of the sort of conspiracy that I don’t want to believe exists.
I’m much more comfortable believing in well-intentioned people that are simply unwilling to give up on long held beliefs, than active conspirators that seek to deceive us on things as basic as the weather.
