Of course as we all know, weather is only climate when it makes warm or hot records. /sarc
http://mapcenter.hamweather.com/records/yesterday/us.html
Of course, the perennial worry-warts will be quick to point out that there are more record highs than record lows on that map. What they won’t tell you about is how there are many more weather stations east of the Rockies with a higher spatial density to experience that weather.
Those colds would balance out the “record” highs here in Australia. Though I haven’t heard anybody say which record was broken though.
Gotta say – its summer in Australia and its hot. Ummmmmmm?!
Loch: TeryMN, did you ask your friend to clarify the 3 degrees increase issue? Obviously what he/she wrote was incorrect and I wonder what he/she was talking about.
Loch – I gently told her (and explained why) that what she was told was nonsense… 🙂
Temperatures over 80F have occurred in Tennessee in the past in January.

It was in the low 20s 25 miles from the coast here in North San Diego County. Tonight it’s supposed to warm up to 29. Citrus and avocado growers are not pleased.
Paul homewood, the link you provide says the opposite…unless you wanted to write 70F ?
@ur momisugly Paul Homewood, see there you go , in enviro-speak, 80F in Tennessee in January is unprecedented for sure. The graph is “Proof”.
Farther up post, Forged chickens coming home to rust, great image.
“…at my personal weather station, we logged a new record low this morning, 21°F, breaking the old one set in 1963”
You could report 267K. Sounds much hotter, almost scary.
I notice the record high for your area was set in 1920,..
Darn that’s a long. long time ago ..
And you haven’t had anything hotter since, in a supposedly warming climate..
That truly is amazing !!!!
Gee, I can remember skiing the north slopes in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in February 1981…it was 71F. Hmmm, what caused that Mr. Gleick?
Peter Gleick has mastered the art of Chicken Cherry Picking- and been paid handsomely for it ‘ why would he give up on a good money making gig. Does he mean the taxpayer hard earned money come home to roost -In his POCKET!
Anthony, if you would have shown Modoc County, you would probably have seen a -20° F listing.
People who live in glass houses should not muck with chickens.
To add to how the Australian heatwave is going, I can speak for Sydney.
These are the daily maximum air temperatures in deg C so far for 2013 which is nominally recorded at 9 am local clock time. It is the highest temperature for the 24 hours leading up to the observation, and is recorded as the maximum temperature for the previous day.
1st 26.2
2nd 22.9
3rd 24.8
4th 26.6
5th 28.3
6th 28.0
7th 27.5
8th 42.3
9th 25.0
10th 25.4
11th 29.6
12th 31.2
13th 23.8
Yes, for a couple of days it was hot but it certainly never reached the heights that it was hyped up to reach when on the 8th it was predicted by most of the media that the 1939 max record of 45.3 deg C would be broken.
The BOM were also way off the mark when they forecast 45 deg C for Western Sydney on Sat the 12th when the Rosehill races were put back a few hours to avoid the heat of the day and await a cooler change. Unfortunately the BOM did not allow for the unexpected cloud cover and the max temperature never reached anywhere near that (max temp I saw was 38 deg).
Yes, if Al Gore had put out his video in 1939 I reckon that he would have scared Aussies more than Hitler did as the Jan max temp in Sydney was above 40 deg for 3 out of 4 consecutive years which I do not think any cherry pickers can do yet for this century.
For the record we have had glorious overnight rain and around here the bush is sparkling green and the 10 day forecast looks extremely excellent. Yep, could be long way to go yet before we reach the new norm of Thermageddon.
Mods, that last image is in CMYK. It should be saved in RGB for it to display properly.
The reality of weather in the USA:
Raining in NY: USA suffers record floods!
Snowing in NY: USA suffers arctic blast!
Sunny in NY: USA sweltering under record heat!
Breezy in NY: USA swept by tornadoes!
One record low for every three record highs these days. Guess which ones are reported here. and which ones aren’t. The chickens are here in spades 🙁
Did Gleick ever actually graduate from a science program or did he purchase his degree over the internet?
Gleick – the Ward Churchill of global warming.
TerryMN, I knew your friend had to be a female, mine too. I normally don’t like to talk technical stuff with them as they don’t understand basic stuff. I said how can the graph be flat and yet she insists the temperature is increasing. She said, and get this, it had something to do with the sun. She said it goes through stages of being hot and cold and we have just gone through a cold spell and it will heat up good and proper when it turns hot again. Can you believe that? Here we have a planet a million times bigger than earth with a zillion hydrogen bombs going off every second and someone put a dimmer switch on it.
I told her to look out the window, it is freezing out there, and this will probably be the worlds coldest year this century. She bet me it wouldn’t be. Well normally I don’t like to take money of stupid people, but this time I had to make an exception. I figured it was my civic duty to educate these stupid people on how stupid they are. And they ain’t going to learn with out a little pain. It will be the easiest $1000 I’ll ever make.
I am amazed that you can post a summary report showing many more record high temperatures than record low temperatures and claim that it is not getting warmer. While there are more reporting stations in the East, there are way more warm records than cold records. We will see in a week how many cold temps get set nation wide as the cold front moves east.
Last year there were man, many more hot records set than cold records. Just because it is cold where you live today does not mean that is evidence that the globe is not warmer.
Gently snowing here (SE England) but then it usually does in January. However, we must find a way to blame this on CAGW, I know let’s discover something called sudden stratospheric warming and blame it and the snow on CAGW. There that’s better, can’t have nature messing with the narrative!
It has been truly Siberian cold (-27degC in the morning!) during the last three weeks. We live here in South Colorado more than 20 years but I’ve never seen such a prolonged, steady cold as this winter.
Usually at our latitude and altitude snow would quickly melt, at least partially, during the sunny day, even if at night it was very cold.
Not this year! Snow accumulates without melting; the external drain tube of our water treatment system has frozen, which plays havoc with the pressure and makes the whole system dysfunctional.
Solar minimum is upon us. How many years it will be this cold? Why did I ever leave Siberia?
Just because it is warm where you are today does not mean that is evidence the globe is warmer.
Wow, that was easy. Gratuitous assertion just as gratuitously debunked.
NEXT!
It is irritating to watch a weathercast which bills a little warm spell in winter as a record-breaker but whose expected high temps are not borne out in reality. A few days ago we here in central Virginia were promised at least three days well into the 70s, with yesterday expected to top out at 72, today at 75, and tomorrow (Monday) at 73; the 75 today, had it come, would have tied or set a record. In fact, yesterday rose only to 53, today to 63 (64 at the airport), and tomorrow is now predicted to reach 62; so the heat wave is gone, though all three days have exceeded or are expected to exceed the average high of 46 by a good margin. The actual temps for the three days will average (if tomorrow’s new forecast is accurate) 14 degrees below the predicted highs. Obviously, prediction is still far from an exact science; but I often get the feeling that the predictors hedge their bets in favor of warmer temps (i.e., when a prospective warmup could reach the upper 60s to the low 70s, the latter is chosen for the prediction). Does anyone else notice this?
In fairness, I must add that some of our local weathermen are more restrained than TWC and can be trusted more. Also, as a gardener with work to do, I could really have used three sunny days in the 70s as opposed to the chilly drizzle, clouds, and rain that actually came.
Hey Anthony remember the days of yore back in the 70’s and very early 80’s when the Sacramento Valley would be filled with a low layer of clouds keeping it dark and cool but not cold for 2 or 3 weeks. While up on the ridges above it around 1500′ elevation or so the tops of the clouds ended and it was a glorious 70 – 75 degree day all day for that same period?
I wish we had that back. for the last few weeks having it plunge into the 30’s or 20’s every night isn’t what I’m used to nor is it what my house was built for. Thankfully I have a nice wood stove that is going right now to keep me toasty but still. I remember the warm and balmy temperatures of my teens when it was glorious in the hills and dark in the valley.
