 Bitterly cold temperatures gripped the West. In Arizona, the Grand Canyon airport observed a low of 20 degrees below zero Sunday morning. That appeared to tie the all-time record low for the Grand Canyon since records began in 1976, previously set Dec. 23, 1990 and on the first two days of February 1985…. Extremes were part of a stark division between very cold air in the West and balmy air covering most of the East… West Yellowstone, Mont., dropped to 39 below zero Sunday morning.

“NOAA has inflated the 2012 record maximum number by adding new stations which didn’t exist during the hot years of the 1930s. That is a completely illegitimate approach, suitable only for government workers. An apples to apples comparison uses only the same stations. When that is done, 2012 doesn’t even crack the ten hottest years.”
