The La Nina modoki pattern is HUGE if it were an El Nino we wouldn't be hearing the last of it. But look at the matching pattern in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. I find that a little disconcerting, perhaps the LOD has altered and the 'slop' in the oceans has resulted in non-standard upwelling of cold. Pity you sold your coat Ratty

What is portrayed as new is actually normal during a NorEaster.

One could likely find similar or worse news accounts from publications of decades and centuries past. The long-ago denizens of Boston may have been more careful of where they built their homes or parked their "rides". No high-profile vehicles running out to rescue them.

Matt Ridley: Global Cooling Is Not Worth Shivering About Date: 08/01/18
Matt Ridley, The Times The Earth is very slowly slipping back into a proper ice age but technology should enable civilisation to survive it
.......This alarm about global cooling has largely been forgotten in the age of global warming, but it has not entirely gone away. Valentina Zharkova of Northumbria University has suggested that a quiescent sun presages another Little Ice Age like that of 1300-1850. I’m not persuaded. Yet the argument that the world is slowly slipping back into a proper ice age after 10,000 years of balmy warmth is in essence true. Most interglacial periods, or times without large ice sheets, last about that long, and ice cores from Greenland show that each of the past three millennia was cooler than the one before.......

Thanks Glenn. Apologies for not asking permission but I have cut and pasted that elsewhere. Send me an account, Aussie dollars. No worries mate! But if the last three winters in the U.S. have not made even the warmest of AGW crowd question their faith this may. It would seem natural gas consumption set an all time high on January 1st for the U.S. It may not be a perfect metric because there are more people here nowadays using natural gas but I have always thought one of the best filters of noise would be agricultural and energy prices. Temperature observations and even history seem to be easily manipulated by man but the canary in the coal mine will be food and energy prices. It is certainly counter intuitive to think we would be using a record amount of natural gas for heat in a… warming world. www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-weather-energy-prices/frigid-weather-sends-heating-prices-soaring-as-energy-usage-spikes-idUSKBN1EU1IR

Right? Just keep feeding me that stuff and I will make best use of it.

I think that our star (aka the sun) MAY have a teeny weeny bit to do with our weather / climate here on Earth. Even cavemen and nomadic herders intuitively understood that I believe ... even though they did not know that they were "falsifying" a very simple, but important null hypothesis ... the sun does not heat the Earth. I'm still waiting for a falsification of a similar null for CO2. Still waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting .................................

Ratty
You must appreciate the weather Gods are on our side ..............
5 degC cooler would be really good.
I expect the Poms thought so - on Sunday, they were playing cricket [fielding] in Sydney at 50+ sun temps. Nearby Penrith got to 47.3 degC [in the shade. Apparently then hottest place on the planet.]
In the afternoon on Monday, a nice cool change arrived ............In time to witness a 4-0 Oz win [Including 3 innings defeats of England]
Apologies to N Americans who don't understand our wonderful game.

Careful Doug. If they start to understand Cricket, they might want us to try to understand Gridiron.
