I’m freezing in my office, but it was the warmest January on record

Filed under Uncategorized by david brooks at 8:13 am

From the AP story: "The temperature of the world’s land and water combined … was 1.53 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the20th-century average of 53.6 for January. … That didn’t just nudge past the old record set in 2002, but brokethat mark by 0.81 degrees, which meteorologists said is a lot, sincesuch records often are broken by hundredths of a degree at a time."

(As for my office - there’s a price to pay for working in a funky 150-year-old building. Character vs. comfort.)

I'd be interested to see how February's numbers plays out. The temps we've been seeing lately remind me more of January.

Yesterday was the first day my home broke freezing in about two weeks -most of the month, if not all of it. I would guess the state (and probably the country) will be under the long-term average for February, although there's still 10 days to go.
