I know that 1 month's temperature readings, in one region, don't
necessarily point to long-term trends in "climate."

But in light of recent Denier posts in this group concerning unusually
cold conditions in various places, I thought this passage from
Christainsen's post was worth noting:

"The NOAA officials also noted that November 2008 was 2.0 degrees
above normal for the contiguous U.S. and that this past month was the
warmest November on record in the western states. Much of that can be
attributed to the large, persistent upper-level ridge of high pressure
which covered the region during most of November."

"Warmest November on record" in the western US, and 2 degrees above
normal for the Lower 48.

Interesting ...
