Now why did trbixler leave out record highest minimums? I looked myself and found out.
14th October 2009 Highest min tempertures for US states out of 4,710 stations with at least 30 years of data) New: 28 + Tied: 21 = Total: 49
This beats lowest mins. In the records game, USA 14th Oct 2009 was 3 : 1 cooling to warming.
New rule, if trbixler doesn't post the record summary, it means it suggests a warming trend! Come on. There's no need to be scared of one day with 1 out of 4 record summary that doesn't back the cooling trend.
It's the same problem at iceagenow, Rob posts cooling records, but not warming records, so it's not possible to contrast how significant the records are.

In the Austrian Alps there has been up to 90cm of snow in the past two days. Several ski resorts in southern Styria have opened their slopes in the earliest start to the season on record.Three people, including a shepherd, froze to death in the mountains of southern Poland (And villagers caught with no coal as they though they had time) www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/weather/world/article6877103.ece

She has become a believer What is more we were in helsinki tuesday and i got really caught out by the unexpected cold we experienced coupled with windy conditions that really made me wonder why i am here and not back in NZ On the other hand i do like the snow and like the definate change of seasons and dont like the wind of NZ with it being in the roaring 40's

The significance of "record high minimums?" Unless they are accompanied by record high maximums, not a lot.
They are just an indication of a relatively high humidity. More H2O, more heat retention, less overnight cooling. Less H2O, less heat retention, and cooler low temperatures.
Put another way, nights in the desert are usually cold but nights in the swamp are usually quite warm.
Looking at the pattern of these "record high minimums," I would guess that it means the Pacific is pumping out an unusual amount of water vapor for this time of year, and the wind is pushing it onshore.
I wish it would stop doing that. We are mildewing.

Almost 1m snow in northern Slovakia. Temps 1-7 deg C even in south-west. We got influx of arctic air last week, before we had steady influx of warm and dry air since end of August till first decade of October. AMO index heads down, global SST anomaly goes down, I have a feeling for good ski winter!
