Compare to 98 high temperature records, and 141 high minimum temperature records
Quite an imbalance in weather records this week. Even the AGU fall meeting in San Francisco where the best and brightest global warming scientists were meeting was surrounded by record (such as 25F in San Jose Dec 9th) and near record setting low temperatures, though the irony was lost on many of them.
See the map:
Source: NOAA National Weather Service and HamWeather records center
Low Temp: 606 + Low Max temp 1234 + Snowfall 385 = 2225
In other cold and snowy news, the Egyptian capital of Cairo sees snowfall for the first time in 112 YEARS
Here are some other nearby temperatures for December 9th, the first full day of the AGU Fall Meeting:

“I’m an AGW skeptic, but I’ve never seen a skeptic blog post or article announcing a number of cold-temperature records broken which offers any indication of how common or uncommon it is to see various numbers of broken cold-temperature records, or even commentary on that question. This makes me suspicious, and actually, it makes me feel contempt for such announcements.”
By itself, a report of so-and-so cold records broken, without random sampling in the weeks chosen to highlight, would mean next to nothing without further analysis (although already amusing compared to how many warmists like to cite about any bit of warm weather). However, once put into context, such as http://img176.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=81829_expanded_overview_122_424lo.jpg including the global average temperature plots mid-way down there far beyond just local cherry-picking, then it gets more interesting.
Interesting that the good book says: (regarding
Jerusalem) ‘pray that your flight be not in the winter.’ No, God is not speaking of a Delta 573 or an El Al trip; he is speaking of actually fleeing on foot the surrounding area.
God has this so called climate fraud under wraps, but as these winter records are falling like dominoes, He still is in control.
The following are charts of 850mb/5000ft temp and anomaly (from ave).
They are the best measure of surface temp to be obtained from this analysis/forecast suite….

Can you see that the cold pool of air over Canada/N+E States is balanced by a warm pools over Siberia, much of Europe and Greenland?
The lesson here is that where there is unusual cold – there are also areas of unusual warmth.
It’s called the natural variability of weather. And the ave temp over the hemisphere will be near normal.
Sorry – here is the anomaly chart …

The last time it snowed in Cairo was 112 yrs ago, what caused it then??
Smoking frog ,
You must be the pretend agw skeptic who also uses the name bbd on other blogs.
@TB
Well, in Madrid, Spain for example, yes it’s about 10 (C) degrees (50 F) at noon, but it is freezing in the early morning, around -4 (C) (24 F)… And that is below average, because freezing temperatures is not normal in Madrid. So even that it seems ‘relatively warm’ for Europe, it is even there still below average… 4 years ago we were having drinks outside at a terrace in december. In the evening you would have a stunning 20 (C) degrees plus (70 F).
And look at the middle east, that blob of cold weather near Egypt/Israel is extremely cold. So no, there is no spot, even in Europe, where the temperature at the moment is above average.
On a separate note northern Scotland is currently experiencing freak nice weather with temperatures touching 14C and unfrozen precipitation. The extreme weather is forcing inhabitants to abandon heavy coats and remove wooly hats. If present climate trends continue heavy plaid and tweed will die out by 2050 and by 2080 people may be forced to don casual sportswear and perhaps even sandals when venturing outdoors.
Smoking Frog – rather obvious false flag. try again, I’m sure you can do better. Question – did you inhale?
TB – yes, we’re well aware of variability. Hence all the sarcastic comments regarding record highs being warming but record lows being weather.
FWIW, this is the 3rd year in a row for snow in Jerusalem. Only 27 more years until it is climate.
While I can relish the comedic element of the Mid East awash in snow, I fear we are just seeing the “tip of the iceberg” so to speak. My house is a lot closer to the next Laurentian Ice Shield than most here. I’m keeping my eyes open to see if I find armadillos fleeing to the south. Dang, it has been COLD here in the UP.

It has gotten very, very cold, very early this year.
I thought that read “the AGU fail meeting.
thisisnotgoodtogo asked:
“What effect do icebreakers have on the long term ice? Has constant breaking impacted the ability to keep older ice?”
The effect of breaking up the artic ice cap is to allow more heat from the open waters to radiate to space thereby adding to global cooling – hence thicker ice in the long run, (if the ice-breakers could break up a significant portion of the ice cap.)
Global warming my a**
I am more worried about the low temps and next years grape harvest for wine.
Geez the folks in Napa Valley are hating life.
So why did it snow in Cairo 100+ years ago? Global climate change caused by coal fired, steam powered SUV’s?

This is a sure sign of dangerous global cooling. We must act now!! 🙂
—————————————————————————————
I thought government policy making had a mandate to not act beforehand. Something about it is better to act right in the middle of a crisis so that they can wield greater powers.
Personally, I have come to believe that it would be a very good idea to examine what affect a severe cooling would have on crops in the NH. Plus, making sure that utility infrastructure and energy supplies are in good shape. The descent into a colder pattern might get steeper as time goes by.

Here is a great weather map for viewing the current temps and weather from a top down view of the Arctic. The tip of northern Scotland shows up in the lower edge of the map. It is the warmest point on the map. The majority of the surface being shown is below -4 degrees….http://www.weather-forecast.com/maps/Arctic?symbols=none&type=lapse
Well, here in Southern VT, it’s a balmy 6.1F and 14″ of the white stuff on the way for the weekend.
Nobody around here is surprised, the general comment being:
“It’s about time, what took ya so long?”
Whenever warmers meet, there’s a cold spell.
Someone pleas call Al Gore and tell him to EFF OFF!!!

Perhaps this will assuage your data-gaps:

I will believe AGW is caused by man when Al Gore and Michael Moore fall on their sword to save the planet!
