"2014 warmest year: California, world set to break records" LA Times

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...121-story.html

"This year is on track to be the warmest year on record for California — and the entire planet — according to a new report."

"Temperatures in California for the first 10 months of the year averaged 4.2 degrees above the state's 20th century average, according to the report released Thursday by the National Climatic Data Center.
A new record for the warmest year in California history is a virtual certainty, the report said.
Average global temperatures for January through October, meanwhile, also surpassed records set in 1998 and 2010." LATimes

We barely goot above freezing here today 33.3 but next week we are predicted to be in the 70s. Strange weather.

No kidding. Last Saturday would've been a perfect day - in February. It's been deep winter all week.

Apparently we've shipped our heat to Bob

What's happening in Buffalo, NY is very strange too. Six or seven feet of Lake Effect snow because the lake water is very warm compared to usual. Now, there will be flooding as it all melts over the weekend.

Anchorage, Alas-ka is snow free presently.

Yeah, and they ship their lettuce to us.

More than 90 percent of U.S. lettuce production is located in California and Arizona.

And with the heat and drought they have had it has spiked to $2.49 a head here.

From Wiki......

""Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate is different from weather, in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region.""



So just how if paying attention would one not notice the changes since their childhood. Changes it seems global trending warmer and loss of ice cover.

But when one are gets hammered with snow it erases the hot summer in the minds of some.
