Warmest temperature ever! Hottest temperature ever recorded!

 Every now and then a story appears, about THE WARMEST TEMPERATURE EVER, or "The hottest temperature ever recorded"


Usually in regards to global warming, of course.  

The latest one on Antarctica, as well as the one from two years ago, might note "since record keeping started in 1961", which should trigger some skepticism, since that is a very short record, and it started during the coldest recorded era since records started.

Be that as it may, here is an example or two why it might not mean much.

Montana temperatures, warmest temperature ever recorded! 40.6 C

Then we look at a longer record, and see why it doesn't mean anything.  Warmest temperature 43.3 C


Same for Michigan

Using a short record, warmest temperature ever! 36.1 C  !!!!

Looking at a longer record, warmest recorded temperature 40.0 C

This is why skeptics and people who understand climate and weather don't freak out over a record temperature.  Unless there is a long record of temperatures, extremes can't be known to be extremes.

It snows more when it's cold

It snow more when it's cold

It snow more when it is cold

"It snow more when it's cold"

Just checking to see if Google still indexes blogger pages

Yes, it snows more when it's cold (updated December 28 2020)

It snows more when it is cold

It snows more when it's cold

"it snows more when it is cold"

"It snows more when it's cold"

In other news, it snows less when it's warm.

This post was to have at least one single page that states this clearly.   Before I posted it, there were no hits for the phrase, "It snows more when it's cold."

I'm not kidding.

While researching this, (which sounds ludicrous, but it's true), I was surprised to find, that according to the PRISM US data analysis, the snow anomalies actually match the annual temperature anomalies.  Not just the cold season temperatures.

For example






This post led to the creation of a blog, simply about this.  After a year it still does not show up in any search engine.  lol
