Interesting. All of NH and western ME is apparently excluded. Everything I've heard so far is that we in NH are under a Wind Chill warning, according to the National Wetaher Service.

I believe the wind chill charts have been recalibrated the last 15 yrs? The older windchill charts
were actually much colder compared to the new charts?

GORE TO WARN OF 'GLOBAL WARMING' ON NEW YORK CITY'S COLDEST DAY IN DECADES!
In what political watchers are calling possibly the biggest gaffe in years, former Vice President Al Gore is set to give a speech tomorrow on the perils of global warming -- on what is expected to be the coldest day in New England in nearly half a century!

Against the advice of senior advisers, Gore is planning to appear at the historic Beacon Theatre in Manhattan on Thursday to issue an indictment of the Bush administration's "inaction on global warming."

Gore will make the warming case on a day forecasters are predicting the coldest temps in Boston since 1957, with wind chills in parts of New England plunging to 100 degrees below zero!

Even though forecasters predict Thursday night will bring the coldest temperature reading in New York City in more than 10 years [1 degree above zero], sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT that Gore is determined to deliver the speech -- hoping to make the case how "Global warming" is actually the cause of the record cold snap!

"The extreme conditions are actually the end result of the planet warming," Gore has told advisers, sources say, in explaining his motivations. "The Bush policies are leading to weather extremes."

Sources would not say whether the speech is to be given outdoors.

I think they were recalibrated just a couple of years ago. And yes, the older charts showed much colder windchills, given the same ambient temperature and windspeed.

I was checking this thread to find the wind chill chart and the Northeast is flashing again....

Here's the website with similar maps for the rest of the country. Neat-o peachy keen.



BTW -- according to various climate models, Global Warming would cause instabilty in weather patterns resulting in rising and falling temps. If Drudge did a single iota of research into what he published, he would know that. But he's like O'Reilly in that respect --- he doesn't want the facts to get in the way of 'a good story'.

I suppose Gore should've altered his schedule so as not to upset the clueless?

Things are looking a little squirrelly just north of here... How's it going Gem? Roam? Jack? Solitary? Shep? Raddy?

Got your snowchains and your ice-cleats ready?
