Warmest winter in Stockholm , but wasn't a winter

As in most of west and northern Europe this "winter" turned out to be
exceptional warm. Weather have been recorded at the observatory for 250
years confirming the "winter" have been the warmest over that period. Only
for one day in December we have seen snow which melted fast.
And it's in doubt if it was a winter at all, winter here is considered as
when the average temperature is below 0 , autumn and spring when between +0
and +10, summer when between +10 and +20 and finally tropical heat when
above +20. Those temperatures must have been recorded for 7 days to
justify a change in season.

The winter has so far been very mild here in Munich as well, but last
summer wasn't a real summer - not hot enough. This is good, as the
seasons have in recent years been less extreme (here in Munich).

An article in Sunday's (March 2) New York Times about the sharp temperature
drop worldwide in the past year illustrates the problem with drawing general
climate conclusions by looking only at local or regional conditions.

"The world has seen some extraordinary winter conditions in both hemispheres
over the past year: snow in Johannesburg last June and in Baghdad in
January, Arctic sea ice returning with a vengeance after a record retreat
last summer, paralyzing blizzards in China, and a sharp drop in the globe's
average temperature."

Which confirms what many scientists says about the global heating: "It's
likely to create more extremes warmer,colder , more rain, less rain, more
hurricanes and so on. And we have seen plenty of hurricanes here in
Sweden this year and last year.

Scientists are just pulling these statements out of a hat. Thirty years ago,
they would have said that a new ice age was starting.

It was about 4° outside today, and it's 22° at home.
