KREM 2 NEWS on Twitter: “This winter is the warmest on record across the country #krem2 http://t.co/3VgQMp8WfC”
I think Obama must have appointed Marie Harf head of climate propaganda.
When i went to college it was very evident that the meterology department was disproportionately populated with pot-heads.
I don’t remember which school at IU in Bloomington, IN had the most pot heads for sure. But it had to be either the Ernie Pyle School of Journalism or the Sociology department. At least the grad students at the Journalism school took baths, the Sociology department staff seemed to consistently have a problem with personal hygiene.
My experience was that most meteorology students were washed up athletes. The stoners were in the sociology, journalism, and political science departments.
Buddy of mine that went there for Forensic sciences when I was there graduated and ended up flying A-10s for a living.
The sports writer for the campus newspaper at U of Md in the early seventies said he wrote his best column while he was high. Nobody bothered to tell him the truth, figuring it was a waste of time (he needed a different day job ). The front of the journalism building was one of the favorite hangouts for sitting in the sun getting stoned on wine and marijuana. I have pictures.
Alarmists seem intent on finding out the hard way.
People aren’t dumb. Particularly where it involves their daily observations.
I see no evidence that is true.
Although we have had an extraordinarily warm winter on the west coast of BC.
Except for local ski hill operators, everyone is quite content.
Reading guardian comments for a laugh. Nutter is such a twit.
Twit with an @
–and the boys at skeptical, Nutter and Cook, have the nuts to attack someone like Will Happer.
Which is why they have to censor all comments they are not from the chorus.
Boston is running 12 degrees below normal for the month of February. Within another week or two, Boston will have the most snowfall ever recorded breaking all records.
True enough about Boston and record snow. But they say that it is a hot snow. 🙂
… and full of Mann made CO2 to boot.
I’m envious. I wish we would get at least a 3 foot snow fall where I live. I like snow and I love using my 8-horses of snow blowing machine. Only had one occasion to use it this season so far and it was for a measly 4 inches.
I was just checking on my back saver (I have a 300 foot driveway), and this is how I roll…

gator: How many horses is your mean machine?
That’s a really good question. The manual gives the gross torque as 9 lb-ft, but unlike my old thrower which listed its HP on the body (6.5), this thrower has no HP spec that I can find. But it is more than my old thrower.
I bought it new in the crate from a guy who bids on storage lockers, and paid half price.
Gators I thought lived in the deep south what do you need a machine like that for?
}:>D
I’m a rare breed.
Gosh, it’s so nice to meet selfish people who wish hard labor to his follow humans just so he can play with his new toy. How very unthoughtful of you but I guess that’s also the new normal for America.
At this point I am wishing for a glacier sitting on Boston, Chicago and Detroit. It would be no loss and might give a needed kick in the pants to the whiny brats who have never grown up. (And yes I have lived there).
I have a 16 HP DR brush cutter. In the winter I remove the cutter and replace it with a snow-thrower attachment. But, since my driveway to the road is somewhat longer than 1400 ft, and I have internal driveways to clear, the DR is mostly a backup to my 36 HP Kubota. tractor. Despite being “well equipped,” this year it has been difficult to keep up with the snow removal. Raking roofs is especially difficult once the snow gets as high as the walls!
I married my present wife in 1993, that winter we had a house in Fargo North Dakota and my wife was from South Dakota and it was her first winter in Fargo, she was totally unprepared for it, she bough a full length down coat and when she was talking to her sister, her sister ask what Mark was doing and when Joan(my wife ) replied raking the roof, her sister figured that Joan was pulling one over on her, sadly she was not, that year Fargo got 60 inches of snow that was only a precursor to the winter of 1997 that we got 117 inches. Try to explain to some one in Arizona the the high for the day is going to be -22 F. Then tell them a few day later that you unzipped you coat at -19 because you got to warm snow blowing out the driveway. I will say winter have improved greatly since now I live 1800 miles away from Fargo, it way 80 degrees today in Mesa AZ. Damn it hard giving up winter. Although I was in Fargo last summer and it look to me they were have a nice winter then.
I am seriously considering “giving up” winter. If this pattern continues, moving will be way easier than rebuilding and adapting.
..and in other news, east coast residents reading KREM 2 news spewed their coffee all over the place, which instantly froze.
“KREM.com is the official website for KREM-TV, Channel 2, your trusted source for breaking news, weather and sports in Spokane, Washington.”
That accounts for it. They think Boston is Boston, Texas which is 44.4 °F and clear right now with the forecast for today of a high of 51° F and a low of 22° F for tonight.
Seattle is currently enjoying spring weather a little early. However, today’s 57 degree high is 4 degrees F below the record. I suspect that there hasn’t been a record high temperature set this winter. It has been in the mid to low eighties, mostly compliments of the same high pressure ridge affecting them, in Yuma. We aren’t close to any record highs , either. Today it is supposed to hit 87. The record is 90, set in 1981.
And what does UAH and RSS have to say? It says that anyone who claims this is the hottest year or warmest winter is FOS.
The land record at practically any place in the U.S. will challenge that finding, also.
File this along with “your taxes have been REDUCED from 21% of your gross to 35% of your gross.”
Climate expert reports (especially government types) now have about the same credibility as government economic reports, unemployment reports and cost of living indexes.
Snowleopard you asked me a question earlier this morning about an article on the Rothschilds. I did not answer then because my Hubby decided to rebuild my computer.
Here is the answer. (As usual it is LOoooong.)
I disagree with that article. It dismisses the Banksters as being much less dangerous than they truly are. The Elite have had a plan in place for well over a century. That is a plan to re-establish a feudal society. That is what Agenda 21 is. A modern version of feudalism with the transnational corporations taking the place of the Aristocracy. link An example of implementation: The Demise of Christchurch City New Zealand
Since that is an ‘extraordinary claim’ I need to back it up with a lot of data. So here goes.
CONTINUED:
Gail , It is interesting to have a response from someone who may know more about the banksters than I do. I’m still reading through your links. Haven’t found anything I disagree with so far. I could guess that some of what the article considered psychopathic behavior, you and I would consider part of the master plan.
I do not underestimate the banksters and am expecting them to implement their world gulag (worker’s paradise /s) unless unlikely fortuitous or extreme calamitous events intervene. Ineffective armed resistance is likely, but it is something they look forward to (despite claims to the contrary) as a means of increasing profits and control while blaming the resistance for the deaths of inconvenient opponents. I expect them to try to make things so chaotic that the average person will feel lucky if accepted into one of their sustainable communities (gulags). Obviously any “accepted” folks demonstrating capability of critical thinking and observation would need to be drugged, re-educated or, if necessary, recycled for the good of the community.
What is your opinion of the major point of the article? Are the banksters psychopaths? Will they turn on each other? Or after NWO is implemented will they be content running their assigned fiefdoms ?.
I am happy to hear you are actually reading my ramblings. The concept of a century or more ‘conspiracy’ by a few families to take over the work is at first glance outrageous. That is why it needs so much information to back it up. Even then people will deny it.
“What is your opinion of the major point of the article? Are the banksters psychopaths?”
Yes, the people at the top are sociopaths. They do not see us as human. This is evident if you read between the lines.
Students in college are going along with this teaching that infants are NOT HUMAN.
GEE, perhaps we should raise that age up to 22 years…. {:>D
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“Will they turn on each other? Or after NWO is implemented will they be content running their assigned fiefdoms ?”
They have been co-operating for over one hundred years. I do not see them turning on each other so much as jocking for economic advantage. I also think they really do not want an all out nuclear war.
They have worked long and hard to come up with a system of slavery/serfdom that works. I believe that the Soviet Union (1917 to 1991) and Communism was one experiment and the European Union the other experiment. When it became obvious that hard line Communism, despite three generations of brainwashing, only lead to resentment and passive aggressive behavior in the
cattlechattel they dropped it like a hot potato and the Soviet Union suddenly collapsed.As Pascal Lamy has been at pains to point out the European Union is the model they have settled on. Global Governance: Lessons from Europe — What can the world learn about global governance from the diplomatic model of the European Union?
OK there is a reasonable disagreement here. I’m not sure who is correct, and I guess it doesn’t matter. What happens after banksters have defeated all opposition and established full control is irrelevant to current bankster opponents since most of them will be dead then.
What might be interesting is finding a way to defeat them before they achieve full control. That would require having a leak proof force large enough to hit all of them “time on target” and the intel to know where all the targets are in real time. Not sure that’s even possible, but if it is, there are probably less than five people in the world who command the resources necessary and they all work for the enemy. Setting up a new force with this capability (under the radar) seems implausible.
I very much doubt we have any idea of who the actual power is. (Bilderberg attendees are 2nd and 3rd rank) And as you say they hold all the chess pieces.
This was possibly the last time we had a chance:
THE BUSINESS PLOT TO OVERTHROW ROOSEVELT Notice how this is rewritten to make FDR a hero. FDR of course was the Bankster’s puppet.

Whether the plot was one faction against another or not is lost in history.
#1 The Rothschild/Aristocracy connection to Agenda 21: link and link and link (see the comments above the last comment linked.)
That should not have happened – second try:
The Rothschild/Aristocracy connection to Agenda 21: link and link and link (see the comments above the last comment linked.)
#2. The Bankers/international elite have already captured the corporations. link. The Leveraged Buyouts/Hostile Takeovers during Reagan’s Admin. dismembered and killed wealthy, no-debt mid-level American corporations and transferred the accumulated wealth to the Banksters/International Elite.
Even the IMF agrees:
Remember those terms Convergence, Interdependence and Divergence. Those are the goals.
Convergence of the middle class with the poor ultimately leading to a new serf class.
Interdependence of nations ultimately leading to ‘Global Governance’ aka a world government.
Divergence of the elite from the middle class leading to a new Ruling Class.
CONTINUED:
#3. The destruction of the USA was PLANNED since the new nation’s inception. (See my comments on the Karl Marx Deception starting HERE. ) If I am correct, Karl Marx was paid by the bankers and aristocracy to come up with a philosophy that would take the place of the Roman Catholic Empire that gave the ruling class legitimacy for a thousand years. (Divine Right of Kings.)
KARL MARX
Notice that the target of Karl Marx is the bourgeoisie, the middle class and NOT the aristocracy/Ruling Elite.
The Marx family was courted by a member of the German Aristocracy AFTER the fall of the Holy Roman Empire ( August 1806) Baron Ludwig von Westphalen was son of the de facto “chief of staff” to Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick during the Seven Years’ War (1754 – 1763) That war reshuffled the ownership of the colonies in the Americas, Africa and India. Through his mother von Westphalen was the descendant of many Scottish and European noble families. He was transferred to Trier in 1816 and his daughter married Karl Marx.
Also of note in 1816, four of the five Rothschild brothers were granted noble status (Freiherr or Baron) by the Emperor of Austria All five brothers were granted nobility in 1822 .link
Nathan Rothschild (1777–1836) married Karl Marx’s grandmother’s first cousin.
A wealth banker, his mother’s brother Benjamin Philips, financed Marx.
Nathan Rothschild (grandson, the first UK Baron Rothschild – 1840–1915) was executor of Cecil Rhodes will ( 1902)
CONTINUED:
What is the Nathan Rothschild — Cecil Rhodes connection?
As a result of the Rhodes Will you have the Rhodes Scholarship (Think Bill Clinton) and more important the Milner Round Tables. The Council on Foreign Relations and The Committee on Economic Development are two of the Round Tables. Nicole Johnson has traced the destruction of US independent Farmers directly to the deliberate policies of the Committee on Economic Development link
The other interesting Nathan Rothschild connection is to the Fabian Society. – link
How successful are the Elite in reducing the middle class to poverty?
Breaking up the family
The Drugging of our children

Gail, have you seen the 2 posts over at WUWT?

It most certainly is not

note: this is the 3 month ending January (latest available, app doesn’t do 2-month)
nowhere near the warmest
Winter is DJF over there isn’t it?
No data for Feb yet, but USCRN seems pretty quick to get data up…
…. probably because it doesn’t “require” adjustments.
If you look at the December one month anomaly, it was app there though, but not as high as 1936 and 1956 (dates guessed from chart so +/1 a year)
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/temp-and-precip/national-temperature-index/time-series?datasets%5B%5D=uscrn&datasets%5B%5D=cmbushcn¶meter=anom-tavg&time_scale=1mo&begyear=1900&endyear=2015&month=12
And who knows what’s going on here !!! (1 month January plot)
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/temp-and-precip/national-temperature-index/time-series?datasets%5B%5D=uscrn&datasets%5B%5D=cmbushcn¶meter=anom-tavg&time_scale=1mo&begyear=1900&endyear=2015&month=1
Some calcs using USCRN data
If we take the 3 month periods, NDJ, ending J 2015 is 5th warmest in the 11 year data period.
If we take the 2 month periods, DJ, ending J 2015 is 3rd warmest in the 11 year period.
From what I hear from over there, Feb 2015 is likely to knock the 3 month period, DJF, ending F 2015, way down the list !!
Salt Lake City has been very warm the last month, but December was bitterly cold and windy. Also, our snow pack is at 85% of normal, which they didn’t report. Instead they quoted the low snowpack of California.
This report is cherry picking the most alarmist pieces of information without reporting the whole story.
That’s what they do. Their intent is not to inform, but to misinform with the intent of influencing their readers.
I can only conclude, it’s a desperate ploy to bolster the scant AGW evidence towards the UN Conference in Paris this year on Climate Change. The reality would defeat them, so the farce
has gone from data tampering to pure fiction . Just wondering what it would take for Warmists to admit to any Cooling ; ” hell to freeze over “… for some , that is it !
When your only climate grid is the size of the US it is possible to say ridiculous things in the name of science. Smart people know that weather is regional and really smart people know climate is regional.
Climate scientists have too many among their number who are apparently too stupid for the classic sciences and have jumped on climate science as a last gasp way to feed their ego and to make their parents feel good about the money they wasted on educating their spawn. No other explanation makes as much sense.
There may come a time when a climate scientist would rather tell people he or she is a bookie or a numbers runner or prostitute than to tell them the truth about what he or she really does.
May that time come very very soon!
Actually I rather see the time come when we can see the televised trials of the top ClimAstrologists who have KNOWINGLY lied to the public.
The damage is done, climate scientists are already giving prostitutes a bad name.
Looks like Jon Gruber’s not the only academic elitist who’s counting on “never going broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
Who’d’ve thought there’d be so many Mencken disciples on the Left?
I’m sure the folks living in the Boston area will agree that it’s the warmest winter ever.
if one’s feet were boiled in water and one’s head was frozen at 0 degrees the geniuses at KREM would declare the person to have an average body temperature.
Maybe we are going about this the wrong way. Global warming would require us to use less Natural gas and electric to heat our homes and businesses. I think a good question to ask is if we are burning more or less natural gas to heat our buildings.
Is that ‘Kremlin’ 2 news?
It’s actually been a relatively mild couple of months in Russia (at least in the Moscow area), which is interesting given this:
http://russia-insider.com/ru/2015/02/16/3540
Maybe mastermind Putin sent his normally frigid air over here to eastern 2/3 of North America!
Here’s a link to temps in Moscow, FYI:
http://www.accuweather.com/en/ru/moscow/294021/february-weather/294021?monyr=2/1/2015
I actually have Moscow weather on my iPhone, and check it daily, 30F and cloudy right now.
And here in mid North Carolina we are 34F and sunny.
Also, Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia. Siberia hasn’t had a mild winter and they had snow quite early last fall.
I have found a way to read all these alarmist predictions without losing my mind.
Every time an article says “climate change” replace it with “a lack of unicorns” then the articles make sense. For example, “climate change is making the ocean’s more acidic” becomes “a lack of unicorns is making the oceans more acidic”. Now the phrase makes sense since there are no unicorns and the ocean is clearly alkaline.
Isn’t that backwards? Shouldn’t it be just ‘unicorns’ instead of ‘lack of unicorns’? Other than that minor issue, I thought it very funny. Thanks for sharing.
KREM2 forgot to mention that up is down, left is right, and fire is cold.
Yes, some areas in the West have been warm the past few months, but the warming there pales in comparison to the record-cold weather impacting the Northeast, parts of the Midwest, and now the Southeast.
The Warmists are becoming increasingly frantic in their attempts to breathe new life into their dying global warming monster. Fewer and fewer people are taking them seriously. It’s sad to see otherwise rational adults succumb to such nonsense.
Warmists are definitely losing the battle. You can only keep the scare going for so long before it becomes a YAWN.

Uh hu and I would propose that we see one of the results of their disgrace by the fact that “Scientific Research” is only one step above “Global Warming” as a priority in that same survey. The climate shamsters will and already have started a trend for the public looking at all science with a jaundiced eye.
You make a good point rah ; I’m surprised Moral breakdown is 6 steps away from Scientific Research as they are so closely linked. The damage done to Science as a profession is immense ; many in the industry will go so far as to change their job title.
Yes Gail it is a relief, the true Government focus almost sidelines Global Warming on the Chart. Will be interesting to see where GW is next year , maybe gone altogether ; one can hope.
Unfortunately the survey is of public opinion. The US government does not LISTEN to public opinion it trys to SHAPE public opinion through MSM propaganda.
This survey says the MSM are failing miserably in their brainwashing efforts.
Sorry, obviously I’m not in the States, my view comes from a British & Australian perspective where
public opinion is front & centre or leaders / governments are booted out on a no confidence vote.
Obviously there are different degrees in democracy, the US public as a whole is short changed on this one, seeing how propaganda has a greater role in shaping the state of play.
…
My US friends have a greater challenge of course,,, but issues like AGW spill over Internationally.
A while back we had forums posting the numbers of hot v Cold records being broken.
It would be interesting to see how the latest weather has impacted those values.
Who are you going to believe, professional propagandists or your lying eyes???
