141 year old cold weather record falls in Jacksonville ( Florida )
WJXT ^ | Nov 20 2014 | Blake Mathews

Posted on 11/21/2014 6:34:48 AM PST by george76

24 degrees breaks old record of 30 set in 1873. Thursday morning not only broke an "ancient" record from 1873, but we also dropped to the second coldest temperature ever recorded in the month of November in Jacksonville.

According to the National Weather Service, for the second morning in a row, Jacksonville set a new cold weather record. Thursday mornings temperature dropped to a bone chilling 24 degrees breaking the old record of 30 degrees set in 1873.

If that wasn't cold enough for you, Thursday's 24 degrees also marks the second lowest temperature ever recorded in the month of November, beaten out only by the year 1970 when the mercury dropped to 21 degrees in Jacksonville in November.

...

Tuesday morning was the coldest Nov. 19 across the United States since 1976, some 38 years, according to Dr. Ryan Maue, meteorologist with WeatherBell. The average temperature across the entire country was just 19.4°.

An astounding 226 million people in all 50 states, that includes the tropical paradise of Hawaii, were below freezing at the same time putting an exclamation point on an already paralyzing winter season -- that hasn't even officially started yet.

...

Even the snow covering the ground is amazing. Roughly 50.4 percent of the lower 48 was covered with snow -- more than double the amount normally seen for this time of year. At this exact same time last year, just a scant 12.1 percent of the country had snow on the ground.

You know global warming caused this right? I had a stupid liberal tell me this not too long ago and I just looked at him like he was insane and he caught himself and didn’t say another word. Damn if stupidity were a commodity the libs would be extremely rich.

Guy at work yesterday told me the same thing. “All this extreme weather is caused by Global Warming.” Another colleague and I just laughed at him, then asked what happened to the mile of ice that used to cover a lot of North America. At least we had a good laugh about dinosaur farts and me driving my Expedition in 10,000 BC.

Only carbon taxes will remedy this situation. Shut down the coal plants here and build dirty ones in China. Make your check out to Al Gore right now.

With øbola’s dictatorial powers and Congress unwillingness to do anything about them...what difference does it make anymore in trying to keep our country? It may be all over but for the chaos.

So dark is the evil of SUVs that they are able to cause Global Warming before they were even invented.

You’re right. Al Gore’s Muslim network reported it, so we know it’s true:

Cold snap caused by climate change-weakened jet stream, scientists suggest

Experts say ocean warming-induced supertyphoon a factor in changed direction of cold blast hitting the US
November 20, 2014 1:09PM ET
by Renee Lewis

Arctic conditions in eastern United States this week may have been the result of climate change-induced stressors on the jet stream that regulates weather over the northern hemisphere, according to meteorologists.

Residents in a large swath of the country’s east have been met with sub-freezing temperatures over the past week. And overnight Wednesday, more than 5 feet of snow descended on parts of western New York state. Media have referred to the strange weather pattern as the Polar Vortex and the Arctic Blast.

Ironically, though, it was warmer-than-usual temperatures that likely sent the cold weather southwards. Climate change-induced ocean warming in the Pacific turned Typhoon Nuri into a “supertyphoon” that punched the jet stream off its course, bringing the North Pole’s weather down over the eastern U.S., according to experts.

Scientists have said that warmer ocean temperatures contribute to more frequent and intense extreme weather, making it likely that climate change strengthened Nuri . . .

Absolute BS article by someone making the voodoo science up as they go along. The truth and it’s companions, facts and logic are not found in the minds of liberal propagandists.

The Union of Concerned Scientists and the Daily Telegraph disagree with you. Surely those liberal sources can be trusted.

And that's the beauty of UN Climate Panel and Al Gore's crusade (or should I say charade)... I'm not sure which 'climate scientist' suggested the moniker change from 'global warming' to 'climate change', but whoever it was should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It makes any nonsensical predictions that they can conjure up plausible because if it's cold, they were right. If it's warm, they were right... They just can't ever be wrong.

Check out the mythological History of Climate Change Science... A Wiki page created to explain the history of a science that clearly doesn't exist. The page was created in 2009. Wikipedia was created in 2001. That's the problem with 'climate change' science... Pretty much anybody can be one because your main qualification is the ability to foretell the future... More commonly referred to as being a psychic.

Oh yeah? How far are their reports backdated but written recently?

They may have been around awhile but they’ve been know to cook the books like a lot of government funded think tanks. Their job is not o much they say they o but to change public opinion on whatever their government overlords want them to:
