   Good for Gary Trudeau! The US just had its fourth warmest January on record ( http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/2012/1 )

   …Many locations across the Northern Plains exceeded all-time warm January maximum temperature records during the month…

     There was also an interesting area over a spot in wester Alaska that posted some cold average records due to an unusual persistent event (not so much cold extreme daily records but a long inversion related situation)

     Here is a discussion [ https://nwschat.weather.gov/p.php?pid=201202012052-PAFG-NOAK49-PNSAFG ]
