Guest Pamela Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 my point is global warming is causing January to warm less than the other two months. So your argument is that a cause is producing some type of negative feedback scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailMan06 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 my point is global warming is causing January to warm less than the other two months.Global warming is what's causing our temp averages to increase in the long term. However you have to look at what mechanisms (oscillations, sunspots, etc.) are causing January to warm much slower than other months. That's why I agree with Bluewave in his post of the AO likely playing a major role in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have always measured meteorological winter as Decembrer 6 to March 6. I am wondering how the calculations would change if we started each statistical month on the sixth. Well the British use to start the year in March, IIRC...and they ended up ruling most of the world for a few centuries...so it couldn't hurt to change things up, I suppose.

JBG Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I can think of many recent years where February was colder than January, in some cases materially so. Examples would be, off the top of my head and without any checking, 1967, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1979, 1993, 2003, and 2007. I bolded the ones I am sure aboiut and where the differences were material. There were even a few I remember that December was colder than January; Using the year in which December occurred, those would be 1966, 1988 and 1989. I am sure there are other examples.

HailMan06 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I don't often post in this subforum since I'm more of an observer who learns from others here. If someone asks a question that I can answer I'll answer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
