Was January Warm?

Yeah, it was. In fact, January was America’s Warmest on Record.

While it was warm here in NJ, we didn’t set any monthly record. For that matter, the lower forty-eight, while warm, beat the old record by only 2.2 degrees.
The country's average temperature for the month was 39.5 degrees Fahrenheit, 8.5 degrees above average for January, the National Climatic Data Center said Tuesday. The old record for January warmth was 37.3 degrees set in 1953.

And before you start to think of Global Warming, it has to be…well, global.
On the other hand, while much of the United States was basking in warm weather, parts of Europe and Asia were being battered by bitter cold. Climate details for the rest of the world for January are expected to be available next week.
Most of the lower forty-eight were above average. Most of them well above their averages. But
On the other hand, north of the jet stream, temperatures across Alaska were much-below average. Fairbanks reached a minimum temperature of -51 F Jan. 27, with a high of only -40 F for that day.
And that’s pretty dng cold!

We both know global warming affects different places in different ways at different times, but the ice caps keep melting & the temps slowly rise on average.
