Great Lakes 80% Frozen Over

[bripat9643]

I'd heard several weather reports in the last couple of weeks noting that despite how miserable this winter has seemed for most of the country, it really wasn't notably bad (cold or heavy snow) compared to winters of the last 50 years or so.

Bullshit..January was the one coldest in history and the most snow ever. this is the worst winter I can ever remember and I lived in the Detroit area all my life

Toronto, where I have been working, is having the worst winter in 35 years. It could get worse by the end of the winter.

It's currently 54 with a high of 68 due today.

Al gore not saying much this winter season!!! Huh??? Roflmao!!!

Let me see 4000 cold records to 1000 warm records. Were it the other way around you would be panting about global warming. Funny how you change with the temps!

It is called winter, old boy

Yes, we know. And when it's summer, we know that too. Funny how you silly people don't.

Glad to see you're finally getting it... now all you have to do is take all those worldwide winter, summer, et al, temperatures combine them together, divide by... compare to previous years and-----and convince other deniers the Earth is warming.

WTG, one science denier down -good on you- about 20-25% of Americans to go.

Well...when you compare that number to the heavily doctored historical record, it appears to be warming anyway.....if you are unaware that the historical record has been heavily doctored that is.

yuk.....yuk.......


What a fucking dope!!


69% Say It?s Likely Scientists Have Falsified Global Warming Research - Rasmussen Reports?



Global surveys show environmental concerns rank low among public concerns



62% Say Winter Has Been Worse This Year - Rasmussen Reports?



Number of Americans Who Think Global Warming Is a Myth Increases


Yale: Global warming on the out with Americans | Watts Up With That?






Limpwristers........they spike the ball and do a dance after scoring a touchdown yet their team is still behind 64-7!!!





In July of this past year, Roger Pielke from the University of Colorado testified before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and here in part is what he said:

“Hurricanes have not increased in the U.S. in frequency, intensity or normalized damage since at least 1900,” Pielke added. “The same holds for tropical cyclones globally since at least 1970.

He also noted that U.S. floods have not increased in “frequency or intensity” since 1950 and economic losses from floods have dropped by 75 percent as a percentage of GDP since 1940. Tornado frequency, intensity, and normalized damages have also not increased since 1950, and Pielke even notes that there is some evidence that this has declined.

Droughts have been shorter, less frequent, and have covered a smaller portion of the U.S over the last century.

Globally, there has been very little change in the last 60 years, he said.”

Craig Idso, past president of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, summarized others’ research dating back 15 years and has said: “The Arctic, which climate models suggest should be super-sensitive to greenhouse-gas-induced warming, is still not even as warm as it was several centuries ago during portions of the Medieval Warm Period, when there was much less CO2 and methane in the air than there is today, which facts further suggest that the planet’s more modest current warmth need not be the result of historical increases in these two trace greenhouse gases.”

Global warming is and always will be a hoax

 

[SwimExpert]

take all those worldwide winter, summer, et al, temperatures combine them together, divide

Well therein lies the problem, doesn't it? How many temperatures should we take? Every mile? Every half mile? Every inch?

 

[flacaltenn]

it really wasn't notably bad (cold or heavy snow) compared to winters of the last 50 years or so.

By what metric, and why said metric?

A groundhog named Punxatawney Phil --- of course..

You guys are so funny. We got it a looooong time ago. It's you clowns that scream every time theres a hot day that it is do to global warming. Grow up.

 

[Mr. H.]

Our country is 80% polluted thanks to agriculture. Those goddamn farmers spoil our land, air, and waters.

Anyone give a fuck?


I didn't think so.

Deep Freeze Recap: Coldest Temperatures of the Century for Some

Deep Freeze Recap: Coldest Temperatures of the Century for Some - weather.com

Now that the January 2014 deep freeze is abating, it's time to take stock of its place in history.

The core of the cold came Monday, Jan. 6, and Tuesday, Jan. 7. Subzero temperatures affected a large swath from Montana to New York and as far south as northern Oklahoma and northern Alabama.

Persistent winds pushed wind chills into life-threatening territory, reaching 40 below to 60 below zero across a large swath of the Midwest. The National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio, said the wind chills were the coldest observed in central and southwest Ohio since 1994.

Records Broken... and Not Broken

On Tuesday, more than 50 primary weather observation sites (mostly in major cities) recorded record lows for the date.

A few major cities, including Atlanta and Indianapolis, recorded their lowest temperatures since the mid-1990s. A few more cities, including Toledo, Ohio (1 degree Tuesday) and Madison, Wis. (9 degrees below zero Monday) recorded their lowest daytime highs since the 1990s. The slideshow above features a selection of cities that recorded low-temperature benchmarks not seen so far in the 21st century.

The National Weather Service says the summit of Mount Mitchell, N.C., recorded a low of 24 degrees below zero Tuesday morning, the lowest temperature recorded there since Jan. 28, 1986 – the same day cold weather caused the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster at Cape Canaveral, Fla.

However, quite a few major cities in the heart of the cold did not establish low-temperature marks for this century[and by "this century", he means since 2000]. In Birmingham, Ala., and Nashville, Tenn., low temperatures were the coldest since January 2003. New York City set its first daily low temperature record since 1996, but the low of 4 degrees Tuesday morning was not as cold as the 1-degree reading they had Jan. 16, 2004.

Many sites in Ohio, including Cincinnati and Columbus, failed to drop below low temperatures observed in cold snaps during 2009 and 2011.

Minneapolis-St. Paul spent 62 consecutive hours below zero and Chicago spent 37 straight hours in subzero territory, but these streaks failed to make the historical top 10 for either city.

Notably, as of Wednesday afternoon we have not received any reports of all-time or even January monthly record lows anywhere in the U.S. from this arctic outbreak. (At the time of this writing, we are awaiting complete Tuesday data from the National Climatic Data Center.) Two long-term cooperative observation sites in Maine recorded their coldest January daily high temperatures on record, though one of those only tied the previous record.

Contrast this with December 2013, when dozens of all-time December record highs and record-warm daily lows were tied or broken, especially ahead of Winter Storm Gemini Dec. 21-23.

Greg Carbin of the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center told The Weather Channel that according to reanalysis data, Monday, Jan. 6 ranked as the 40th-coldest day on record since 1900 for the continental U.S., with an average temperature of 17.9 degrees for the Lower 48.

According to this data set, Monday was the coldest day of the 21st century thus far nationally, and the coldest since Jan. 12-13, 1997, but pales in comparison to the arctic outbreaks of December 1983 and December 1989, which together take the top four slots on the list.

One reason the January 2014 deep freeze was unable to break many long-term records is its short life span. The coldest air moved into and out of most locations within a 36-hour span, often not lasting enough to keep temperatures anywhere near historic lows for a full 24-hour calendar day.
In addition, the perfect recipe for extremely cold temperatures is a deep snowpack and calm winds. While the gusty winds throughout this cold snap made wind chills very dangerous, they also prevented actual air temperatures from plummeting to their lowest potential. Furthermore, a number of locations from Ohio to the Mid-Atlantic and Deep South had little or no snow cover, either due to lack of snowfall or the sudden warmup and rain that preceded this bout of frigid air in the East.

Thanks for the informative article, it makes me wonder if all the carbon suckers on this M/B went to schools that taught them not to keep score because it would damage their self-esteem?

Ha. I hate it when people find this too cold. They should sleep in a bedroom less than 32 degrees without any blankets or anything. Did it for a month or so and now just go outside in a T-Shirt while everyone else is bundled up in huge winter coats, and I find it too hot sometimes even then. People need to suck it up an adapt to the cold.
