All that warm weather this year

Some statistics on this year's heat wave: First, so far this month, up to the 19th, "more than 2,200 warm temperature records have been set so far in March." Second, Winner, South Dakota, two days ago, "...hit 94°F—-the earliest 90° reading ever recorded in the Northern Plains." Next, "Canada is weathering record-breaking heat too: Winnipeg, Manitoba broke its record high for the past four days in a row, and hit 21°C (70°F) yesterday, its hottest temperature on record so early in the year. With today's forecast by Environment Canada and wunderground both calling for highs near 25°C (77°F), Winnipeg is likely to record its highest March temperature on record." It is at least extraordinary, no matter your beliefs. Link: http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2012/03/crazy-heat-wave-about-get
