Merry Christmas to all, and my thanks to, Anthony, Steve M, Lord M, Richard Lindzen, John Christy, Roy Spencer and Willis Eschenbach and to everyone else who has helped to fight for the truth.
Bless you all.

Thank you so much for your efforts towards creating a safer and saner world.
I have a huge professional background in research management, computer modelling and investment economics, yet without the communications infrastructure you provide, I would not be brave enough to stand out from the crowd and take a position.
Be assured that, by the day, thought leaders are now recalibrating their postions and trying to figure out to the re-engage with the real scientific debate – without too much loss of face

Merry Christmas to Anthony and everyone at WUWT! Thanks for keeping the truth “out there!”
We are having a wonderfully white Christmas in Calgary it’s about -5C and a bright sunny day. Isn’t “weather” wonderful?

As of 30 minutes ago I can now announce with absolute certainty that PDO is very strongly related to geomagnetic aa index.
This result cannot be established via traditional linear-correlation methods.
Cool Christmas wishes to all who have a warm home. Warm Christmas wishes to all who have been left out in the cold.
REPLY: we’d love to see that correlation presented here – a guest post offer is open to you. – Anthony

I would wish you a Merry Christmas too, but here in Seattle (50 sq. miles surrounded by reality) it’s a politically incorrect no-no.
Keep running the best blog anywhere bombarded by cosmic rays.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The Carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said;
‘For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
‘God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!’
-Longfellow

There is a Santa Claus and his helpers: Anthony Watts and his moderators. They bring the most precious gifts of all: reason and truth.
Merry, Merry Christmas to all, but especially to the skeptics who contribute to this blog–it’s nice to know I’m not alone.

Mike, in Poland on the “Wheel of Fortune” game show, do you get to buy a consonant instead of a vowel?

Christmas has now passed in Australia with much of the north-east having rain, best Christmas present that many of us could hope for.
Peace and best wishes to all.

Mr. Alex (05:29:08) :
Thanks for the reply. I thought maybe I was asking an ignoramus question. Just checked (8:47PM, CST), the number is still 11 with a blank sun. Maybe they’re on vacation today, last update was 12-24. Just checked Solarcycle24.com and they also show a sunspot number of 11 even though they update every 2 min. and definitely show a blank sun for Friday with 1 day since the last “official” sunspot. Hmmm.

When’s the last time you saw a high end moderate/low end Strong El Nino, be associated with nearly all of the Northern Hemiphere covered in snow with an extreme Negative AO? It occured in the late 70’s but the nino was not nearly as strong. So throw your conventional Nino analogs out the window…
There were signs in the NP pattern this October as a precursor to this type of pattern, it has manifested quite well….

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to everyone from cold and snowy Central NY, USA.
Keep your attention focused on the Mount Mayon volcano in the Philipine Islands. The Philipine government has evacuated 50,000 nearby residents, has raised the alert level to “4”, and is expecting an imminent spectacular eruption. We may see “Volcanic Winter” in 2010.

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!
Thanks to Anthony, the mods and everybody the world over who searches for truth.
Speaking of ground truth…..I’ve never seen snow drifts where I live before…..But I did today…….darn that global warming!! It was beautiful on the Ozark plateau though.
Last night we had 30+ mph winds and blizard conditions.
