Half the U.S. is already covered with snow (because it's warmer!)

While the United States has had a cold start to winter, the rest of the world was warmer than average in November. “According to NASA, November was the warmest such month on record worldwide since reliable instrument temperature data began being collected in 1880,” Climate Central reported.

In fact, the only areas of the globe that were cooler than usual in November were the central and eastern United States and part of Antarctica. And those few cold spots don’t counteract the overall global warming trend: The top 10 hottest Novembers in NASA’s data set have all occurred since 2001, according to Climate Central.

NASA is still at it: (ahem!) Warmest Novemburrrr! on record! "The top 10 hottest Novembers in NASA’s data set have all occurred since 2001"

I guess NASA had better pull up stakes and move somewhere warmer, like Outer Mongolia.

Better raise taxes as soon as possible...

What about the snow in Israel and Egypt earlier in the month?

That explains why Gore was seen flicking a big lighter by several weather stations last month.

This makes perfect sense, after all hot water freezes faster than cold, so it’s obvious that higher global temps will cause colder winters, right? RIGHT?

...the only areas of the globe that were cooler than usual in November were the central and eastern United States and part of Antarctica.

I guess those record amounts of arctic ice up north are caused by that warming too.

I detect a new trend of the cold being offset by vastly hotter areas of the globe, where only their satellites can see and no one actually lives.

Clearly the sats are hovering over fudge factories and that explains the spike. They are reporting fudged temperatures.

Riiiight. The only people to experience a tough winter is America and a part of Antarctica.

Yeah. Whatever you say, bub.

10 below here tonight

[TurboZamboni]

Bumbles won’t even bounce in that cold.

[trisham]

That is cold.

[Lazamataz]

Its only you. Everywhere else on the planet its 97 degrees and humid. < /NASA>

[cripplecreek]

Only in the crack of me bum.

[Lazamataz]

You cheeky monkey!

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[ApplegateRanch]

It was -13 last night; we’ve been as low as -21 this month.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Yes it will cold tonight here.
Almost as cold as the look Michelle Obama flipped her husband when he was trying to hook up with the Danish Prime Minister at a funeral.
Hey I have more where that came from; I will be here all week.

[gorush]

Two feet of snow!
