#2 Thanks Phil for the link.

As noted at that site, there are a bunch of methods of measuring the global annual temperature.

#4 No, the AGW true believers will continue to believe, just like true believer commies still believe, no matter how much evidence of their wrongness is shown to them.

#7 Not that I believe in the global warming cult, but it is 61 degrees in Chicago today and I couldn't be happier.

#8 Might hit 70F today here in Cincinnati, and, as a bonus, the office building doesn't smell like crap!

#9 59F and sunny here in the Philadelphia suburbs at noon. Just took down my outdoor Christmas lights. Can't remember it ever being such a pleasant task. A little over a decade ago we had approximately 25F and 30 inches of snow around this date, so my Gore Extrapolation Formula (TM) projects that we will have steam outside on this date in 2040.

#10 60 deg here in NE OH. A few days ago it was 11 on my front porch. I confidently predict temperatures will continue to fluctuate regardless of expert opinions.

#13 Balmy and sunny 40 degrees this morning, now heading for 20 with snow.

Colorado, you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes.

#14 64F in Chicago as I post. Gorgeous, gorgeous day. If this is global warming I want more of it, and I'll eat Rhode Island oranges.

#15 We had our annual New Year's snowfall. This year it melted on the third. Today it was close to 70F in Cincinnati -- and I just bought a new winter coat that it looks like I won't wear until December. :-(

#16 48 degrees and appallingly foggy in Wisconsin for three days. There was a hundred-car pileup on 90-39 yesterday.

#17 #11 BP: "Those temps are all in farenheit?"

Honey, if 'Murkins are discussing temperature, you bet your sweet bippy it's in Fahrenheit. We don't need no stinkin' Celsius. ;-p

Richmond, VA - 72º F today, 74 forecast for tomorrow. Not a record, though - that was set (according to the local weatherman, several degrees higher than today, I think he said 76 or 78) back in the early 1900's.

But how can that BE? The Prophet AlBore and his ~~minions~~ followers assure us it's NEVER BEEN THIS HOT BEFORE AND WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE IF WE DON'T START LIVING IN CAVES ~~while they continue to live in their mansions and fly around the world on private jets~~.

#18 It's currently 25 and snowing in Colorado Springs, with more expected. It was 61(?) on Wednesday, I believe, then snowed 3" on Friday morning... What Darth said.

The mountains are getting pounded with snow, with up to five feet of new stuff in the last week. If you like powder skiing, this is your kind of weather. The only problem is getting to the slopes.
