Plus, there have been new snowfall records, almost unheard of in summer.
See the table:
Source: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/records
Daily records Tmax=368 Tmin =1072
Monthly records Tmax=6 Tmin= 17
3 new snow records.
I had noted earlier this year that the data feed from NCDC that allowed independent plotting of high/low temperature records has suddenly disappeared.
HAMweather has been running this map of record events for several years, and I have used it frequently in WUWT reports.
Yet, mysteriously, since February NCDC appear to have yanked the data feed, as they been showing no new records for several months.
Paul Homewood points out that even PBS is affected by this outage:
===============================================================
It was not long ago that we were bombarded with claims of record high temperatures in the US. For instance, PBS introduced their new widget in 2011, shown above, to track daily records.
As they pointed out:
We’ve built this widget so our viewers can understand the significance of the heat, not only in terms of raw degrees, but in a format that compares today’s temperatures to previous record highs.
As of last September, it was still running. (Not that they cared to show record daily lows as well!)
===============================================================
With cold records outnumbering high records this year, it makes you wonder if NOAA’s NCDC might want to keep the reporting of these things close to home. I’ve seen no explanation as to why the data feed of high/low/precip and snow records stopped this year.
If anyone knows of it, leave a note in comments.

I am more concerned about man made pollution .Stop being slobs pick up youre garbage .Stop throwing it out car windows.You are more likely to die from disease swimming in the filth we created in or waters then Global warming.Nobody wants to swim with illegally dumped needles and feces when we visit our Ocean Beaches during the summer time

Really? Then take your message to where those people live.
Cold in July
Film about a group of citizens who find themselves in a showdown against a hardcore cell of environmentalist fundraisers.
This is not news. The weather’s been strange for a number of years now.. which is what some people have been trying to tell everyone else.
The overriding long term forecast for future climate prediction is that we have been experiencing the end of an interglacial period and that glaciers can advance and retreat rapidly.
The Vostok Ice Core studies have been telling us we are 40,000 years overdue for an ice age! It may well be coming now. Burn more stuff!
Google “Two Minute Conservative” and when you speak they will listen.
gemini,
If you had been an adult in 1933-1938, I have no doubt you would have found those years even stranger.
Dust storms that blotted out the skies across mid America for weeks. Depression, breadlines, national socialism on the rise in Europe. Migrations to camps in California, hot summers that stretched to October.
The stories of drought and heat in the US heartland are etched in history, The Grapes of Wrath, and many other authors, including the best of all, The Hungry Years, by T.H.Watkins.
Currently, we have the elements within our government, who control temperature records who need to erase that history, specifically the hot weather of the 30’s, for political ideological purposes.
Strange today? Okay maybe. Unprecedented, even within the last 100 years? Hardly.
I’m loving this. Just to watch the global warming/climate change scam artists and gullible scramble for excuses is a hoot! On top of that is their typical condemnation for having a page linked on Drudge. Then it’s off to the river DeNile for their leftist political agenda, but somehow that just doesn’t explain their contempt for Drudge.
The latest buzzword for the global warming/climate change scam artists is “hiatus”. Nope. couldn’t possibly be wrong, just a “hiatus”. In other words they hope to revisit this same tired old garbage in another 25 years with the hopes that a new generation of youth to lie to will be ignorant enough to buy into it.
Not if I’m still around. :o)
John Campbell,
You are correct: ‘hiatus’ is the latest Orwellian term. They just can’t bring themselves to admit that global warming stopped many, many years ago.
It can be called a ‘pause’ or a ‘hiatus’ only if it resumes. Which it may… or not.
Nobody knows. So for now, global warming has stopped.
Suck it up and admit it, alarmist deniers!
What. Are you people stupid? When it gets cold you turn down your thermostat…..The air kicks on and you will be warmer……You don’t believe this? ……DENIER!!!!

Interestingly.
So the general public doesn’t find climate change to be particularly newsworthy?
Isn’t this meant to be the end of the world – as newsworthy as it comes?
This is evidence that we sceptics are winning.

IDD, wasps that burrow are easy to kill. Wait till dark when they are all home, pour into the hole a cup full of gasoline and close the hole. The fumes kill them quickly.

Or do like I did when I found a nest near the house at a former shrub stump and got stung about 20 times. Get ‘Brake Clean’ like found at auto parts stores, the spray from the can reaches paper wasp nests under one-story eaves and it kills them well. Even the “Greener” versions work since if it would be “environmentally friendly” enough to not kill them it wouldn’t clean brake parts very well so wouldn’t sell.
For this ground nest, after the stings, to start I added in my butane lighter. Flamethrowers are good for displaying annoyance. Then un-ignited cleaner, some more ignited, then un-ignited, repeat. Finishing with an unneeded bucket of water that was handy.
Might have been forty stings ’til I was done, didn’t notice them much after the first ten. That nest never came back.
Enjoy the upcoming warm September folks. It’s mostly downhill after that, trendwise There will, as there was in the LIA, be hot spots over the next decades but it is getting unstoppably colder from here no matter how much CO2 we add to the atmosphere.
Cooler temperatures for one summer doesn’t mean you can question whether or not climate change is real.
But John Kerry recently told us climate change (aka global warming, he did get the Al Gore memo, obviously, about the name change) “was among the top international threats facing the United States, cheering environmentalists and disappointing oil industry officials, who have been watching how his confirmation as secretary of state could affect the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline.”
He wouldn’t lie to us … would he? I think his lips were moving though.

The next knock on your door will be the EPA SWAT team, armed to the teeth, to cite you for illegal toxic waste dumping. The neighborhood will be evacuated and your property confiscated as a toxic hazard. Arrest will follow and then a HAZMAT team will visit to excavate and bag the contaminated soil, remove it to a designated waste site and pass off the costs to you.

wait so let me guess its cooling becuase it global warming right, what a bunch of crap
I do not think we had a heatwave this whole summer, no intense hurricanes… somehow people are going to twist this that global warming is real (real to the extent that it is an imminent threat)
No matter what happens, hot ,cool, too much rain, drought … its always because of global warming
The only place in the U.S. that I know that has suffered from any heat wave has been California, which is mostly desert anyway and fully expected. Typical for drought as well. The difference this year seems to be a few more days of over 100F* temps, but none have been hitting the really high marks. Hopefully we’ll be spared such this year. While the rest of the nation gets a cold wake up call, I fully expect a mighty cold winter where people who bought into the idea of getting rid of their winter protective gear over global warming garbage are going to be in for a rude awakening.
California, where I reside, has had cooler and drier air coming off the north Pacific ocean and where cold air carries less water vapor than warm air is now in a drought and has been for about ten years of record, but more like 17 in fact. This is all consistent with a cooling trend and the coming ice age which is 40,000 years overdue according to the Vostok ice core studies. It is all well documented and understandable to anyone with an IQ over 100.
“The Earth has a Fever” – Al Gore
Stop with the faulty logic of record cold at X = global warming is false. What right wingers dispute is man made climate change as the right wing propaganda machine wants big business to be able to pollute with no consequences. Yet the mess at Fukushima is not OK, go figure.
The Vostok Ice Core studies show very clearly we are 40,000 years overdue for an ice age. It is probably beginning right now. What a joke on the elected ruling class trying to tell us we need to pay new taxes to prevent “global warming.” Hah!
Earth has been cooling at a frightening rate since 1933.
NASA, and other loony Liberals, decided to replace raw thermometer readings for the past 100+ years with Mann synthetic data from one of his loony computer models that have a +1C temperature spike built into the data to “prove” earth is warming.
Thus earth’s temperature looks like it has not changed in 17.5 years now
when in reality it is cooling at an alarming rate.
that’s what you get when Liberals lie – the unintended consequences always get them.
Hope you have your parka already……..
OT but mentioned earlier…
The fastest and “greenest” way to kill wasps is to douse them with a 20:1 (approx) mixture of dishwashing soap (i.e. Dawn) and water. After being hit with the soapy water, they cannot fly and they die almost instantaneously. It works amazingly well and doesn’t harm paint or plants.
Nice try JLR, but CO2 is not a pollutant.
@GeologyJim,
You cite the solar wind as a cause of temperature change because more cosmic rays penetrate the magnetosphere. Something you might consider: the solar wind constitutes a multi-million ampere electrical current flowing past the earth. The earth’s core is mostly iron. The earth rotates. Electrical current + rotating iron = generator. Kinda like a giant hotplate at the bottom of the ocean.
Not the first time their data has gone dark. NOAA used to post polar ice coverage data sheets. After a post on their site spoke to the observation that as the Artic ice-sheet’s max coverage lessened, the Antarctic sheet expanded in harmony and vice-versa; those data points also went missing. Can’t have Mother Naure interfere with science.
