I'm guessing we're "West US" and this winter is coldest it has been since 
1990.  Prior record was 1937.

And it isn't just Northern CA.  All up and down the coast is colder than it 
has been in years.

On another note............ one week's winter storm and temperature changes 
do not make a new trend or even confirm a season's forecast. So far this 
year, Evelyn Garris's predictions seem pretty darn good, at least for my 
area.
Personally, I'm glad it is a bit warmer today, even though overnight lows 
are still freezing.
In Alburqueque last week they had temps matching record lows from some 60 
years ago.

West US will be warmer, but dry.
2007 artic ice expanded over the winter.
2008 artic ice expanded more over the winter."



Guess "cold artic air going all the way down to the Gulf" explains the snow 
in Houston.....

Subject: Re: [Homestead] Climate-Gate

It is true, I saw an interview with the director who said they had
destroyed all gathered data from the 80's forward that they used to draw 
their
conclusions from. This is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Scientists who
disagreed were fired and silenced. Papers with opposing views were not
published. We will see a wave of scientists with opposing views coming 
forward.
I even saw Al Gore, verbally admit that in the past the rise in CO2 levels
followed, rather than proceeded global warming and may be a result rather
than a cause.

As the son of a top research scientist, I can attest to many occasions on
which he was upset over the manipulation of data to assure further funding
of projects. Climatologists have had to scratch out funding in the past, but
their profession is hot right now and the sky is the limit on funding as
long as the crisis continues. I lived through the whole "CO2 levels are
causing the coming of the next ice age" scare in the 70's. My father said 
that
was fake and sure enough, it was. Now the same data is being rolled out as
proof of global warming. The real shame of this is we have no idea which
scientists to trust going forward. Science is supposed to be pure and
politics should not play a role, but as long as government funding is used 
to pay
for the research we will have conflicts of interest.
