Record cold reported in Switzerland
This winter has “cracked” previous cold records, says this Google translation.
Freezing temperatures ruled Switzerland on Sunday night (Feb 10). In many places in Graubünden the thermometer dropped far below zero. The mercury plunged to -29.4 degrees in Buffalora SRF Meteo, to -27.3 in Samedan, and -20.4 degrees in Davos.
Even colder than Graubünden, the temperature dropped to -36 degrees in Glattalp, furthest up the schwyzerischen Muotatal, while La Brévine in the Neuchâtel Jura registered -31 degrees.
Bern reported -12.4 degrees, Aarau reported -8.0, in Basel the mercury fell to -7.3 Basel and -6.4 in Zurich.
In 1929, 80% of Swiss Glaciers were receding, due to your SUV.

NBC reports that Antarctica average Winter temperatures have risen 10 degrees in last 50 years and that NISDC measured the lowest ice extent ever 6 months ago. Cryosat shows Antarctic ice extent above normal 6 months ago and even though I haven’t checked Winter temp data 10 degrees sounds wrong.

Last Saturday I took to the road for a weekend driving vacation in Arizona south of Phoenix and got snow flurries as low as 4000 feet depending on where I was. It was awesome! We aren’t getting much of that Man-Made Global Warming here in Arizona this year.
As I said before –
“Where is my global warming ?
I bought it!
I’m paying for it!
Where is it?”
