Jeff Masters Reports The Coldest Temperature In Grand Canyon History

Bitterly cold temperatures gripped the West. In Arizona, the Grand Canyon airport observed a low of 20 degrees below zero Sunday morning.

That appeared to tie the all-time record low for the Grand Canyon since records began in 1976, previously set Dec. 23, 1990 and on the first two days of February 1985. However, the National Weather Service has not confirmed this record.

Temperatures of -20F (-29C) in Arizona are due to a rapidly melting Arctic and an overheated atmosphere.

    Even the NATION’S LANDMARKS are experiencing extreme temperatures. AGW is eating away at the fabric of our nation. Quick, raise carbon taxes while scaring the American public.

    The hot air gushing from the mouths of alarmists, Dems, dims, libs, and other mentally deranged leftys should be added to the list of heating that’s causing the cooling.

    In Colorado we had the NWS listing several, a dozen or more?, new record cold temps being set, usurping one from the 1890’s many from the 1960s. I believe they said Maybell was -40°.

    • It is ridiculously cold here.

    • Eric Simpson says:

      For tonight it says the low in Maybell will be -22°f. But this is at weather dot com and I click on “Right Now” and it says it’s already -25°, so this doesn’t jive. But however you slice it, it’s COLD!
      For Big Bear Lake in southern CA my phone had it at -4°f this morning. That’s off the record on a freak day in 1979 it got to -25°f but most winters it never even gets as cold as -4°. It’s 25 degrees lower than the average low of 21°f. What’s weird, and I know that weather dot com has a liberal pro-AGW slant on many stories, is that yesterday I saw that it was -3°f in Big Bear, but now it reports that the “Observed Low” was 19°f???. That’s FALSE. Maybe I’m missing something, here’s the (seemingly faulty) reporting of Big Bear data I’m talking about: http://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/USCA0094

  4. And I thought it was the jet stream dropping down……

  5. Andy DC says:

    At least Masters was man enough to report a record low, though only going back to 1976 is hardly historic. We can manufacture lots and lots of high temperature records by only going back that far and avoiding those horrible Dirty Thirties. And 40’s and 50’s, etc, etc.

    Definitely chilly here is Arizona – my garden thermometer read 24 degrees this morning – yes I realize that isn’t anything like “real” cold but for Tempe Arizona that’s cold!

    So what happened to Man-Made Global Warming?

    • During the winter of 1975-1976 I remember driving towards Payson and seeing a foot of snow on the Saguaros. You could have skied..

        I remember those years here in Virginia–The James River almost froze all the way and all the work i had was outside–20 degrees during the day for two weeks–i promised myself i would save enough money so it wouldn’t happen again
