As noted in the previous post, some areas of the Northeast U.S. have racked up impressive snowfall totals so far this winter, particularly in near-coastal portions of southern New England. Hartford, for example, set an all-time monthly snowfall record in January. Is this the harbinger of a cooling trend, as some alarmist ice-agers would claim? In fact, preliminary data for January from the National Climatic Data Center indicate that, for the U.S. as a whole, record high temperatures actually exceeded record low temperatures. This is now the 10th month out of the last 13 since last January that heat records have exceeded cold ones. The ratio of high temperature records to low temperature records over that period is 2.18 to 1, and the cumulative excess of heat records is almost 7000.

Yasi could be the Strongest Storm ever. “Of the cyclones up to now since Tracy, you have not really had a direct hit on places with a lot of housing,” he said. Building standards have been tightened significantly since Tracy killed 71 people and destroyed about 70 percent of the northern city of Darwin. But they may be no match for cyclones the size of Yasi. Standards are already being reviewed because of worries that cyclones are getting stronger and moving further south.

Yep. Simple physics, warm air holds more moisture than cold air. The storm over the mid-west today is being fueled by a massive plume of warm moist air from the gulf, just as the coastal storms were fueled by warm moist air from the Atlantic.

Is that why the Global Warming "experts" make up their numbers?

I agree. Here's your boy, Klansman Robert Byrd saying just the opposite of what your post is about. You guys need to get together and get your lies straight.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDE00902.loop.shtml Yasi makes landfall. Queensland Gov't now collapses. Rescue will not be forthcoming. And the Template is forming. Overwhelmed the USSA MSM can only control so many stories at one time. The rest are ignored.
"It's all a massive conspiracy" So if you owned Koch (pronounced Coke;} Bro, Exxon, bpEcocide, AIPAC, what would you do? The Rule of Kleptocratic Plutarchy. Masters and Slaves. It doesn't matter now. For some reason ththe Top 50 000 think they can ride the wave of chaos. too much in breeding me thinks. "As in the 15th century, the law doesn’t necessarily matter at all. Nor do we necessarily have a police force to do anything about it. More and more it’s might makes right. I guess our “civilization” hasn’t advanced so much after all. Or, as so many other signs show, we’re headed back to feudalism.
How would you know since you don't know anything about it other than to post doctored data from websites with agendas?
This from the guy who claimed that there were no weather stations in the artic [sic] Seriously?
