March has provided an unexpected dose of winter, but a freakishly balmy February broke more than 11,700 local daily records for warmth in the United States.
An international science team calculated that man-made global warming tripled the likelihood for the nations unusually warm month. The team, known as World Weather Attribution, uses accepted scientific techniques to figure if climate change plays a role in extreme events based on computer simulations of real-world conditions and of a world without heat-trapping gases.
Natural random weather variations and climate change combined to make it a weird February, meteorologists said.
Overall, NOAA said it was the sixth warmest U.S. winter on record, about 3.7 degrees warmer than the 20th century average.
A March frost could kill early blooming trees and flowers and the lack of a proper winter could lead to more mosquitoes and ticks this year, Vecchi said.
What is lurking behind the corner while were outside throwing a Frisbee might be looking to make our lives less pleasant, he said.

So Global Warming caused the record cold temperatures.
Or course it did
A few years ago here in Michigan, there was a week in late February where the temps rose into the high 60's and into the 70's. Me and my senior homies played some softball and my magnolia tree started to blossom. Then BOOM! Winter came back, killed the blossoms and that was it for the spring. Didn't have any problems with mosquitoes or ticks that year tho.
Life returned to normal.........
“Scientists link record-breaking February weather to man-made global warming...”
... so to keep those government funds flowing in!...
They are not scientists. Weather varies. Climate varies. Stop trying to pin it on the wrong causes.
The right causes: the Sun and its varying output. The Earth’s wobble.
If this is global warming I’ll take more of it please.
Whenever Seattle is colder or wetter than normal, that means the Eastern USA and the Midwest are warmer and drier than normal.
I assume that also means that much of the northeast Pacific Ocean was colder than normal, since almost all our weather systems roll in from the Pacific.
Curiously, our winter last year was much warmer than normal because of a warm “blob” of ocean water, the size of Lake Superior, located just to the west of the Washington state coastline.
Naturally, the warm blob was blamed on man made Global Warming.
However, only Conservatives noticed, and publicized, that the warm blob of ocean water was directly above the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is where the Pacific Ocean plate slides under the North American continental plate.
There could be be dozens of hydrothermal vents in that area that release superheated gas and water into the surrounding ocean. The flow from those vents can change dramatically over time, and new vents can form, or completely shut down, very quickly.
Only a small portion of that area is actively monitored, so no one has any idea how much of the heat in that area was caused by completely normal geological events.
These repulsive turds never comment on how much worse things would be if the climate got COLDER.
Cause you can do that based on a three-week snapshot taken from the 4 billion year history of the planet. /s
FREAKIN’ IDIOTS!!!!!
These idiots don’t know they have lost, but we must keep up the fight on all fronts.
In California it is 2000 years. As in the worst draught in 2000 years.
Weather is not climate... except when it’s warm. When it’s cold, it’s just weather.
And the March cold weather..... is just weather .... Right
Sure they did. Hint hint.. wink wink.
“When the scientists talk about records, how far back do these records go?
“
And sometimes (often) the record highs are in a couple os hundredths of a degree. Not even out of the margin of error!
Got a greenie friend to do a search on his computer;
What % of the atmospere is Nitrogen? “Wow! More than I thought!”
What % of the atmosphere is Oxygen? “Wow! Less than I thought!
What % of the atmosphere is Carbon Dioxide? “Wow! That’s all” ?”
Hopefully his wheels are turning!
Jeez...L was hoping for global warming! Deserts will become arable, the beach will be an hour closer and Manhatten, Los Angeles and Miami will be under water.
No, wait! The residents of the corrupt coastal cities will flood inland!
Throughout the warmer than usual February I said over and over, “We’ll not hear the end of this ‘global warming’ for months.”
