High temp. a record low? | Winnipeg | News | Winnipeg Sun
Winnipeggers are shivering through a cold spell that will likely lead today to see a record low maximum temperature for this time of year.

The temperature at Richardson International Airport today is forecast to climb no higher than 9 C, and during the noon hour had reached only about 8 C — well short of the previous low maximum of 10.8 C, which was set for this date at that location in 1992.
Gamesa blows hot air - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Our history is full of instances of public longing for a spectacular and wondrous new technology to provide a miraculous solution to a seemingly insurmountable problem. Until a technology is developed to store wind-generated electricity, wind power is just another in a long line of fallacies and false hopes promoted by self-interested businesses and grandstanding politicians jockeying for our tax dollars.

The current wind-power craze is nothing more than needless hysteria and fear created by global-warming alarmists who use scientifically unfounded opinions to further their political agenda, and it is dangerous because they are influencing our government to take drastic actions that will negatively impact all.

It has always baffled me that for a planet that is heading lemming like towards a Global Warming Armageddon, why are we still experiencing so many all time lows?
I would hazard a guess that in 2008 we have have had World Wide more all time lows than all time highs.I am pretty sure that is the case for Canada and I know Europe has had a colder year in 08

I'm glad I read this when I did - it reminded me to check the forecast for tonight. With a high of 10C, we didn't get as cold as Winnipeg (where I've lived a few times over the years) today, but tonight we're dropping to 2C with risk of thunderstorm. I managed to get my plants in off the balcony before it got too cold for my transplants and seedlings.
