China isn't the globe. One winter storm is not climate.


That is right.
Winter will always bring some cold spells, even
farther to the south than expected.

The real news is the warm spells that can now
be experienced in the far north even in winter!
And the general raise in median temperatures.

Just to put the weather report from China in perspective:
Yesterday the northern part of Norway saw the warmest
January day since temperature measurements started 150
years ago. Svalbard (in some countries called Spitzbergen),
which is situated on 78 degrees North, is in for temps. of
around 3 degrees Celsius tomorrow! There is no wonder
why December brought a new record minimum for extent
of Arctic sea ice:

Those AGW-deniers does not know the difference
between weather and climate, and few of them will
ever be willing to learn, it seems.
