Happy New Year to everyone from soggy Qld where it was never meant to rain profusely again because of global warming but now it’s awash everywhere because of global warming

Should be, day or “two”, or “2”.
Happy New Year, too all, thanks for all the hard work.
A “snip” of this comment would make me happy 🙂

Watts up with Prince Charles and the Catlin crew three stooges this year ??
They got the baseline, but decided not to drill for follow-up data ?? Or did they stay closer to home and measure some ridiculously thin first year ice in Whitby Harbour ??

It appears that while the Arctic ice extent is down considerably, the mass of ice is up by even more.

What an amazing year of growth at WUWT!
To one and all — Happy New Year!
Now, excuse me but with six hours left to 2010, I’ve got piles of munchies and wine that need attending to. See y’all in 2011.

To all my friends, and foes alike, I wish you nothing. But the best for the new year!
May the climate be with you.

Happy New Year to everyone at WUWT.
I landed on an oil rig, in a very remote location offshore Western Papua, at mid day on the 31st so no whisky for this Scotsman this New Year.

Happy New Year to all!
May you have a warm globe
and a cool head
during the upcoming year.
Or, should that be a cool globe
and a warm head?
Whichever, enjoy.

Happy New to all, and thanks to Anthony and contirbuters for the fantastic web site. I for one am going to make a point to donate to this site this year. He doesn’t complain about it but he puts an emormous amount of time into this blog and I come to it every day. I’ve learned a great deal . If we all chip in a little, maybe he could spend a little less time worring about bills and an a little more laying waste to the AGW argument. Now I know that there’s a lot of us out here so however much you’d like to contribute will add up quickly.
I’m sure Anthony will let us know when the coffers are too full. 😛

On this arbitrarily chosen point in the elliptical orbit of the earth around the sun to increment the year, I wish all a safe and prosperous trip around the sun.

Happy New Year to all, thanks to Anthony and the moderators for the most enjoyable scientific based blog/home on the net. Thanks to the regular posters for their wit and wisdom, and trying to identify the pitfalls for those of us who are out of their specialty when it comes to climate issues. It’s great to see differing views exposited, exposed, and rebuffed (and usually in a gentlemanly fashion).

Talking with a friend working for Wash. State fisheries service I learned that for decades HOBO data loggers have been used to monitor temperatures in the water and on land. These devices make recordings every 20 seconds and past models have been used for some 40-50 years. My friend said they were originally used in railroad cars to record railcar temperatures during travel.
So I wonder if decades of HOBO records from outdoor locations around the country have been mined for temperature data to compare with official stations.
Here is webpage for a firm that sells these:
