It is currently 42 degrees in Miami – tied for the city\’s all-time low for this date.

In central New Jersey it is currently 2 degrees, a new record by, if I\’m not mistaken about 5 degrees. 

Ditto for New York City, and probably countless other cities up and down the east coast.

And that\’s not all.  According to Angela Fritz\’s article in today\’s Washington Post:

Itcould prove to be the coldest morning of the season for many parts ofthe eastern U.S. as the plume of Arctic air digs in. All-timeFebruary record lows are possible from Ohio to Virginia astemperatures plummet to as much as 40 degrees below average for thistime of year.

Cleveland,Cincinnati, Charleston, W.Va., and Roanoke, Va., are all positionedto break all-time records for the month of February just before thesun crests the horizon on Friday. Record low temperatures for thedate appear likely across dozens of major Eastern Seaboardcities, including Boston, New York, Washington and Miami.

I guess these days it\’s not Global Warming, it\’s Climate Change….until the summer, of course. 

Call it anything you want, though.  Just keep those grants coming.
