yeah but who lives at the airport .....:o)Airports are usually colder than a mid town reading in the middle of a huge Urban Heat Island.

"Oh well, Ill go pick an orange. In Sacramento, Its 65 degrees outside." For me, 65 is just about perfect. It's 16 here...minus seven last night.
Oh, well...eat another orange for me, will you?

And another 70 degree sunny day here in Silicon Valley. I read yesterday this is a normal pattern — a static high pressure ridge over the western US coincides with a big static low pressure zone over the midwest and east. In CA, it is causing our drought to continue and there have been few cold days this winter.

LOL So true. Our airport reading is always warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Yep, the NYT only a year ago said Winter was history. They are never wrong.

My place on the Rockies usually sees some lows in the minus-30s in February. Real temperatures—not wind chills. Some Februaries, high temperatures seldom get above zero.

Friend in NYC had the same problem. Said it went away when they let the hot water drip. The hot water pipes unfroze the cold water pipes.

re: Cleveland low temperature this AM.
I just checked my facts. At 5:43AM the temperature was -17 at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, shattering the old record. It's the 4th lowest recorded temperature ever in Cleveland. That location is considered the official temperature. I'm about 7 miles south of downtown, and it bottomed out at -12. Fact is, the people are taking this rather long bout of weather very well.

Once you get the lake frozen, you lose the lake effect snow but also the heat storage tempering effect of the water mass. It’s a mixed blessing and a condition that doesn’t happen too many years.
I remember 76/7/8 as particular nasty when I was living up there.

Oh well, Ill go pick an orange. In Sacramento, Its 65 degrees outside.Enjoy your orange. With western reservoirs at low levels and snowpack far below average, those of us shivering out here in the upper Midwest will enjoy a bit of schadenfreud come August or so, when we hear Governor Moonbeam imposing fines for flushing toilets more than twice a week and prohibiting watering of lawns and bathing more than once a month.

re: Cleveland low temperature this AM. I just checked my facts. At 5:43AM the temperature was -17 at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, shattering the old record. Cleveland Hopkins Airport is way out in the middle of nowhere. You are comparing apples to oranges. Out away from Manhattan's Urban Heat Island, temperatures are much colder too.
As I said, Cleveland's downtown temperature last night was minus 2 not minus 10, and not that much colder than Manhattan's temperature.

LOL, I just notice "gruberwarming" was a key work. Too funny!!!!
