Like RSS, UAH lower troposphere global temperature anomaly also went up in November, which was to be expected:
2008 10 0.166
2008 11 0.254
More later…

Waiting for a big snow this weekend in NE Oregon.NOAA’s seems a bit reluctant to go out on a limb here,but plenty of snow in the Mountains around here.Nasty pass travelling too.Have an old friend in Traverse City Mi. who has a place on the bay on Lk.Superior,Icing up very very early there….
So where’s the Big Snow Job – Poznan or the Northern USA???
Inquiring minds would like to know.
REPLY: check the screen – Anthony
ICE on lakes is just another CO2 signal…less CO2 in the water raises the freezing point above 32 degrees. (smile) Sounds just as good as many other theories. LOL In fact, I expect that water will start freezing at 40 degrees in the near future as global temps continue to rise. The CO2 has risen so high in fact it’s blocking out the sun spots.
I found today that global sea ice doesn’t care much about anomaly. I am truly surprised by this graph and don’t know how global sea Ice didn’t change for the hottest year on record 1998???.

Way cool. Way cool. If I stay on the site long enough will the snow cover up the blog?
That’s clever, Anthony! Snow falling across my screen.
But which way is the wind really blowing? On IE8 and Chrome this snow falls from left to right, but on Firefox:, right to left?
Old Framer’s 2009 Almanac ( only correct 80%-85% of the time)
Lower lakes;
Dec 2008 below avg temp, Jan 2009 below avg temp, Feb 2009 below avg temp
Ohio vally;
Dec 2008 below avg temp, Jan 2009 above avg temp, Feb 2009 below avg temp
Upper Midwest;
Dec 2008 below avg temp, Jan 2009 above avg temp, Feb 2009 above avg temp
Hartland;
Texas-Oklahoma;
Dec 2008 below avg temp, Jan 2009 above avg temp, Feb 2009 below avg temp
High Plains;
Dec 2008 below avg temp, Jan 2009 above avg temp, Feb 2009 above avg temp
The question
Will the three months avg temp be above or below “normal” temperature? Only time will tell.(and, of course, how much “add-justments” are done.)
Is it snowing here at WUWT or did I pick up a virus?
Al Gore was here for a short visit.
No, it’s snowing. LOL. Nice one Anthony!
jeez (19:56:38) : “Al Gore was here for a short visit.”
Now, now, jeez; this is Christmas, Please give Santa his due. Leave old misery-guts to his C02 and Santa to decking the halls with holly and snow.

If you wait long enough, the wind shifts and the snow changes direction. I’ve had both right and left on the same browser (or else Safari is ambidexterous?)

No, just using his name is enough to invoke the Gore Effect!
When I say “Al Gore” I throw salt over my left shoulder and spin in a circle 3x to avoid the “Gore Effect”.
Apparently typing his name makes no difference – whoops now it’s snowing…

I think it’s random. I had one tab where it was falling from right to left, and another tab where it was left to right.

Source code is at http://s2.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/snow/snowstorm.js at initialization time it picks a random speed for the wind.
There are a maximum of 60 snowflakes on the screen at once.
CPU usage on my system pegs at 100% when it’s running, but I can stop
Javascript and CPU load drops back.
Love the snow Anthony!

I’m expecting to see Hansen in the UK again soon.

Above average temperatures in Russia always make me think about the rumour, that during the time of the Soviet Union, temperature were readings were manipulated downwards to receive higher subsidies from the central government.
Maybe this website may some day reach people who were involved in these historic temperature readings and tell if the rumour is true or not.
Patrick Henry: You can get the slope and offset from the ‘data’ link below the graph. I have a wishlist item to put it into the legend on the graph, but that involves some ‘plumbing’ behind the scenes that I don’t have yet.
Others, w.r.t 30 years: Agreed it’s not long enough to include the PDO etc. – use HADCRUT3 for that. But it is what we have, 30 years has always been a significant period for WMO etc. and they deserve some credit for getting it this far! I’m looking forward to *really* getting some answers in 2038, assuming the world doesn’t end when the time_t’s wrap on 19th Jan.

Paul,
You made an old guy with 41 years of IT development time go and research what the time_t problem was. Most of my work in the last 20 years has been Windoze where time is normally an 8 byte thingy. Interesting…. 🙂
Doug Jones (03:45:07) :
Hmm, are you the Doug Jones Google finds with a PDP-10 past? Perhaps I should’ve searched for DATE75.
I wish I had become a meteorologist… I took the class my last year in college to fulfill a nat science elective and loved the class…got into all that stuff that creates weather, wind, storms etc… But alas it was too late… I’m a marketer! LOL
But I like your site…It gets over my head often…you guys start using words that I’d swear you’re making up..LOL
Anyway…I don’t think there’s a doubt we’re having an effect on the planet…and there’s also no doubt in my mind that some day, one of our generations will have to bear the brunt of our actions today..
I suppose there are extremists on both sides, but they balance each other out…for every Al Gore, there’s a Rush Limbaugh…whos’ answer is…”the Earth will work it out!” Yeah…it sure will, and we won’t be around to see it happen! LOL
Anyway…keep up the good work…Here in Louisville, it’s windy..very…getting ready to storm, then turn cold…Here in the MW it’s amazing how quickly temps can drop…Of course all of you know what that happens…but having lived in SoCal where temps never do this kind of thing…it’s kinda amazing to experience…be in shorts one day and parka the next…
I bet the Indians in these parts really thought they pissed off some God when this kinda thing happened…
Peace
A bit off topic…but Gore is in the news:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/08/obama.gore/index.html
“”The Gore trip is for more than just a chat,” a close friend of Gore told CNN’s John King. “He wouldn’t burn that much carbon flying to Chicago just to talk.” ”
Amazing that these fools can make statements like that and people actually let them go unchallenged. With all the reports of Gore’s carbon footprint, you’d think that even CNN would raise an eyebrow at that.

Hmm. This gives you an interesting perspective on how all this global warming is going on. yeah, right. Global Warming is just another environmentalist ploy to get more influence over the government and business supported by the college-failure named Al Gore trying to keep himself famous.
I wasn’t alive then, but if you look back in the seventies, it was Global cooling. Does anyone remember that? No, probably not because that’s not something people, especially the media, like to talk about.
