But it is worse than it seems. On this side of the pond, it was 84 degrees in DC, and cherry trees were blooming during November 1946.
And it gets worse. That was after a record early bloom in March 1946
The only thing broken is the cognitive skills of David Joss Buckley
Who broke the planet and caused the RWP and MWP? Did someone leave the global fridge door open?
First time David has ever slept with the windows open in November! Wow, maybe David will get his first bicycle this Christmas!
Well it was friggin’ below freezing in OCTOBER and we had the heat on in
sunnysoggy mid North Carolina. NOAA may show a warm blob in the Atlantic but so far it has been a COLD fall here.Buckley probably uses the same argument against evolution, since he’s unlikely to recall any changes in the animal kingdom whatsoever.
It’s too early to call climate moron of the day, especially with Phillip Shi-head and Martin Bullschmidt posting in all their glory.
This is the same David Joss Buckley who lives in the fantasy worlds of ‘Eastenders’ & ‘Emerdale’
He doesn’t do facts…only fiction !!
He’ a Gemini

Say no more !!
note to self – FFS get out more !!
I guess that weather isn’t climate mantra only counts when it’s unseasonably cool.
Don’t mock the guy – it’s the first sign of serious illness when your internal temperature regulation goes haywire like this and you start needing to sleep with the window open.
Yes, it’s a warm day in November, and I know it’s due to global warming because the earth is 0.6 C warmer than it was in 1880 and I can feel when it’s 0.6 C warmer.
Ha! Yes, good point. I defy anyone to step outside and reliably, consistently and repeatably tell me without instrumentation what the temperature is to with one degree. Even with a thermometer you will have a hard time. Now try that with the average temperature for the day. Even harder! Now try that for the average temperature of the state. And the country. And the entire globe (including the oceans!). Even if you could do that, you still have not found out much because temperature is not an intrinsic property and does not tell you whether more or less energy is being added to the system. Besides, the so-called average is being based strictly on high and low readings. Which site is warmer? One with a ltemperature of 50 degrees for 23 hours and a temperature of 61 degrees for the remaining hour, or one which is 50 degrees for one hour and 60 degrees for the remaining 23 hours? So called “climate science” says that the first is warmer.
Madness!
A wise mans once said, the global average temperature is about as significant as the global average telephone number.
It has been a very mild November so far in Washington, DC, with temperatures getting as warm as 80 degrees. You think it must be due to climate change until you look at the records and see that it was 85 during November 1974, 84 during November 1975 and 83 during November 1993, So as usual, when you check the weather records, you discover there is very little going on that has not happened before.
My wife ALWAYS slept with the windows open in November IN WISCONSIN. I had to put my foot down to get to close the window in December.
Bragging about your hot wife is off topic. 😉
Actually, sleeping with the window open in my opinion is healthier. My wife and I crack the window open a couple of inches every night and we generally do this up to and around -20 C. Once it drops below this, I find it just too cold.
It is healthier. Air exchange lowers the # microbes/ unit vol.
Also among other things temps below 55 F shuts down dustmites (can’t find ref.) Dustmites like temperatures of 68° to 84°F and humidity levels at 75 to 80 percent. Therefore if you have allergies, sleeping with the window open in cold weather can really help.
Geography has much to do with whether or not sleeping with your windows open is healthy. For instance, I would hazard to guess that sleeping with your windows open in Ferguson, Baltimore or Chicago is not going to lead to a longer life.
You are right Gator, been living in the country too long. I forgot what it was like to live in the Combat Zone in the Boston Area. (Thank goodness)
Sleeping with a window open in Yuma, AZ, leads to a massive influx of dust particles which include various fungi and molds, some of which can cause valley fever. Also chemical residues from intensive agriculture may accompany the above, depending on which way the wind is blowing.
During August, here, it can give you a low of a sweaty 90 degrees for night time comfort.
I always crack the window at night unless it is below freezing and there is a breeze.
I do the same.
My wife complained yesterday that she was cold, then hot, then cold and hot again, and then one more time around. This was the first time ever it happened 6 times within a 3-hour period in November.
I’m not saying my wife is hot or cool or something. It’s strictly a scientific observation. And in case one of you happens to talk to her, I didn’t say she’s not. Err, never mind …
My wife spends most cold nights looking through the window, after about an hr I close the curtains & she goes back to the coal-shed !!

Colorado, From an older woman with the same problem, tell her to look into <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/supplements-and-vitamins-articles/coq10-benefits-five-compelling-reasons-why-women-need-coq10-1001575.html"CO-Q-10 (Coenzyme Q10) It takes about a month for the effect to kick in because it is not a ‘drug’ but a nutrient.
Peer-reviewed paper There are not many papers because as a doctor told me it is over the counter (OTC) so there is no money in it.

Thanks, Gail. I’m not sure it will work. When I tell her what’s the temperature in the house she never asks if it’s raw or adjusted data but wants to know if it’s been peer reviewed. 🙂
I wonder if she’d take a non-peer reviewed supplement?
Same with my exfiance. But it’s a year round phenomenon and it’s never just “hot” or “cold”. It’s “freezing” or “burning up”. Sometimes I have thought about putting a lock on the thermostat. If I were home all the time I would.
Same with my ex-fiancé. She never says: “I’m cold”. It’s “I’m freezing.”
Well, guys I knew it was me and I wasn’t about to put up with it so I hopped on the computer to see what could be done outside of hormone treatments (major heart and cancer risk)
The funny thing is my temperature drops to 96.xx F when I am ‘burning-up’ Not good as RAH well knows since you response can be the worse thing for you to do.
This study was the one I was actually looking for yesterday:

I can’t sleep without the window open all year round.
Most of the time until it gets down to below 20 deg. F we sleep with a bedroom window open and our bedroom door open also. All the larger rooms in the house have ceiling fans and ours in the bedroom is always on at night. The windows in our bedroom are the awning type that are hinged at the top so we can leave them open even in a regular rain.
