Here’s the roundup of cold and snow records for the past 7 days. While there is a handful of new high temp records, it is clear where the bulk of the statistics is. Note the new record lows in Florida.
Here’s a few other recent news stories:

I spent a couple of days in a beach town called Ulladulla, about 220kms south of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The w/e temperatures did not rise above 25c and Saturday afternoon it dropped to 18c, Sunday and today wasn’t any better (Ok, a coastal town, but this is summer). Back to inner west Sydney, it’s 23c. Ok, it is Summer and usual temperatures are nearer or above 29c.
And “Summer is proving to be interesting for Australia in 2010” (Lots of rain and cool temperatures) just announced on channel 10 weather tonight. You’re not kidding.
But cooler temperatures is just weather of course.
Re Richard:
Although snow is common in the Northern China, but this time it is spectacular. Maximum 8 inches of snow is recorded in Beijing in the last day or so, with Beijing hittng a temperature unseen since 1977.
Lately the Siberian Express has stationed in NE Asia, so I expect Northern China, Korea and Japan be the worst in the whole East Asia Monsoon Area.
To my knowledge, El Nino have almost always bring warmer-than-normal winters to most of East Asia Monsoon Area, take Hong Kong as an example, the two exceptions since 1960 are 1982-1983 ( thanks to valcanoes eruptions ) and 1976-1977 winters. It would be really interesting to see this winter becoming such an exception.
January is usually the coldest month in East Asia Monsoon Area and I do not yet see an end to the current cold spell. However ECMWF do indicate that the cold air mass will somewhat shift westward in the second half of the month, bring some relieve to NorthEast China, Korea and Japan, with the expense of Southern China and even Northern Vietnam, Central China will be cold anyway in both case…
Met Office director Rob Varley disagrees. On Channel 4 News in the UK this evening, he “stressed that headlines suggesting that the world had succumbed to an unusual period of heavy snow were incorrect.”
So there we have it. Move along, nothing to see…
Hear in South Dakota USA we have a little problem normal weather paterns are usualy dry and worm for the last 2 year been unable to harvest crops due to the rains and constant fog not alowing crops to dry down for harvest and the heavey snows that now fill the filds with crop still standing in them the trend is becoming alarming that we may not be able to cope with this climate change and it is not to the warming side i will tell you all that.
with all these cold weather deaths i wonder if the global warmist feel responsible for any of them for not telling the truth.
So the goverments could prepare for the cold weather to protect the ppl. Instead of telling them they would need refrigerators in the arctic they shoud have told them they would need furnaces in tennessee
I think Weatherman David hit the nail on the head right here:

We would most likely be very lucky if we were indeed experiencing warming instead of cooling. Read your history. Read about the Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warm Period, the Younger-Dryas event. Read for yourselves what happens during these warming or cooling events. Other than the fact that the AGW clowns want to scare us all into being good “sheeple”so the governments can control us more easily, we’d all be better off a little warmer than a lot colder!
I live in the NW corner of the U.S. where the weather is supposedly very similar to Gr. Britains and we’ve been noticably colder the last few winters. Snow down in the valleys the last three yrs.
Influence can be defined as the power exerted over the minds and behavior of others. A power that can affect, persuade and cause changes to someone or something. In order to influence people, you first need to discover what is already influencing them. What makes them tick? What do they care about? We need some leverage to work with when we’re trying to change how people think and behave.
