Coldest records

by Vic Wieland

I  started Googling for " record temperature " , and was quite amazed how
little I had ever seen reported in the press about record cold spells .
Well - amazed is the wrong word - I expect it , but it always dismays me
.

So I started to compile a list out of interest to send to some friends .

Now I know this does little to advance any argument against Climate
Alarmism ,  as most people who can read by now know the earth has been
steadily warming since the little Ice Age , so by very nature you would
expect new temperature records "since records began " which is quite
recent .

Nevertheless ,  I didn't expect to find so many  recent record cold
patches  .
