July 29, Gaithersburg MD. I just walked to the grocery store to get some lunch, and it is cold outside.
The overheated atmosphere acts in strange and mysterious ways.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

What? Cold? That word is not part of our politically correct march to consensus science!
Algore in town?
It is gorgeous down here! Low 80s, low Humidity!
Same here! Exc it’s approaching 91 (versus a more normal 98 to 100)
Just better than what we expect this time of year!
We could do with some global warming here too, natural or manmade I’m not too worried about which it is.
Yeah, I’ve been relying on local warming today…had the furnace on. Good thing I get free gas…hate to see what my bill would be if I had to actually pay to run the furnice, in JULY!
I believe that there must have been a huge number of temperature records that have been set over the past day or so, but the only one I could find was at Cincinnati, they were 50 this morning and the old record was 54. They do not appear to be posting the record lows on the NOAA site as they normally do. Is Big Brother at work?
It just could be the system is swamped with them…or a bunch are ‘not quite’ record breakers, ties don’t count.
We shouldn’t mix weather with climate. Weather is short-term; climate is long. Now if weather forecasting is still as much art (and luck) as science, why should we believe climate forecasts?
For trivia fans:
” On January 8, 1913, the temperature dropped to 15°F (-10°C) at Furnace Creek (Death Valley, CA).”
In July of the same year, the record high was recorded: 134° F.
“The summer of 1917 had 43 consecutive days with a high temperature of 120° F or above.”
So it would seem that it hasn’t been as hot there since 1917. Maybe the Russian Revolution had something to do with it.

Uhm… I think you have to mix weather with climate. Climate is after all “the composite or generally prevailing *weather* conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years” according to Dictionary.com. You kind of have to mix them. But if you mean confuse them, then I agree. But you need to start with the warmists… they CONSTANTLY confuse the two concepts (but only when it is warm, of course… cold they like to ignore).
Weather Is Now Climate: the memoes-
Prof. Will Steffen:
A few years ago, talking about weather and climate change in the same breath was a cardinal sin for scientists.
Now it has become impossible to have a conversation about the weather without discussing wider climate trends, according to researchers who prepared the Australian Climate Commission’s latest report.
It might even be the case that the mantra chanted after every catastrophic weather event – that it can’t be said to be caused by climate change, but it shows what climate change will do – has become a thing of the past.

Greg Laden, Scienceblogs:
Can we attribute specific weather events to climate change?
“Yes. Not only that, but we can’t separate climate change from any single weather event that ever happens, anywhere, no matter what. So just stop saying that we can’t.”

It’s currently 61 F here in Colorado at noon. It has been a cool month here. No tomatoes this year.
