Default WTF is wrong with this thing we call winter?!
Same here. It's supposed to get very cold in Pune, but this year it just hasn't got cold enough.

I'm reading in the paper that Dec 2006 was the fifth warmest since 1870 in SE Michigan. The average temp was 37.5 F (3C). The usual ave temp is 29.6 F (-1.3C).

We've had occasional flurries, but they all disappeared within a day or two. An ice storm early this week left about two inches of ice, some of which is still here despite the last three days of 45-55F degree weather (in January, in Maine, which officially qualifies as "ain't right".) Average high temperature for January is 28F, low is 8F.

Starting to get kind of worried about not having any snowpack to melt this summer, too...

It's supposed to be 81 in the San Fernando Valley on Monday and 75 in downtown L.A.! Winter, where is thy sting? Actually... Both.

Global warming has no significant effect on any single year's temperature, or even any five or ten year period ... global warming might make EVERY winter warmer, by a fraction of a degree per year, and might be blamed for winter not being like 1942's winter, as noted above; but people saying 'this winter is way warmer than the one I remember three years ago' in no way can blame global warming, as none of us are sensitive enough to tell a tenth of a degree's temperature.

Thus any complaint about a warm winter this year is solely attributable to weather patterns, ie El Niño or similar.

Thus any complaint about a warm winter this year is solely attributable to weather patterns, ie El Niño or similar. I think you're confusing statistics with reality. The fraction of a degree that climate change is supposed to effect is determined by an averaging of temperatures over a large area for a period of time, meaning that it isn't litterally changing the temperature at a steady pace of 0.2 degrees over the span of a year, or whatever - there can be unusually hot days and unusually cold days as a result of it that wouldn't neccisarily be obvious looking at the statistics of average temperatures. Also, weather patterns such as El Niño would not be uneffected by climate change.

Oh and you Europe folks shouldn't worry about getting too WARM. I saw a piece on global warming that indicated that glacial melting in Iceland is predicted to disrupt the Gulf Stream that brings warm waters off western Europe. Instead, cooler waters would remain and Europe would on average be much colder than it is now due to the influence of the much colder water offshore

These were pretty long range predictions and somewhat uncertain but the prognosis longterm was a COLDER Europe.

It's in the 80's today in Los Angeles.

I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt with no undershirt and I left my jacket at home.
