There is no standard deviation long or short.There is no standard deviation at all. Climate variability is a permanent feature of all celestial orbs in this system.
Is that short for cherry picking?

I knew exactly what I was referring to JLM. It was simply a tiny lighthearted comment stating that I see no evidence of "global warming" where I live. Like Hermite - this is one of those areas I have avoided. I also agree with her that we are into climate change and nothing else. "Weather" records from 50 - 60 years ago show the same thing happened then as is happening now.You're talking "weather", VanIsle, Global warming is about climate (weather over several years) anyway, with this catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico which is likely to bring about the end of the world as we know it, global warming will be a moot issue. Maybe just as well, the human animal has become greedy pretty well beyond the point of no return. Hopefully the human animal destroys itself before it destroys the planet. They can be such A$$holes.............:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

No it's short for the historical and physical reality.
While I no longer use Telus as my provider, I still use their homepage. I set the weather page to Nanaimo so if you want to look at it just go to that page and edit the page to Nanaimo - all you will see is that we are getting rain and more rain. Hmm - now I am thinking you want to see where I am looking at records from maybe 50 - 60 years ago. I don't remember right now if that is where I always read them or not. I'll have to look. It used to be at least (and I think that's the one unless it was when I used Canada.com as my homepage) that it showed the coldest and hottest day on record at the same time as it showed the current reading. I used to study it a little because it seemed very interesting that such extremes occurred.Van, if I was going to check the weather near you, which weather station would that be?
Tell that to Greenlanders. They won't believe you.Arctic Ice Volume Has Increased 25% Since May, 2008
In 2008, less than half of the ice (47%) was greater than two metres thick. Now, more than 75% of the ice is greater than two metres thick. In 2008, 18% of the ice was more than three metres thick. This year that number has increased to 28%.

Yes, that's what I was looking at. Specifically I wanted to see how the climate has changed since the 60's. It's not which year was the hottest or coldest on this day that matters for climate, but the long term average weather.
I see what the graph appears to be saying, however, while our winter probably would fit into it, what we have had so far for summer like weather is starting to feel like it will be the year without summer. I call it the year without winter (2009). I was at my GP's office today and it was really busy so a number of people were sitting in the waiting room. Normally, people sit there in complete silence, no one talking much to anyone. Today however, people were the most chatty I have ever seen. All they could talk about was how cold it's been. People are wearing attire like shorts but the majority are still bundled up. It rained so hard here this afternoon, the water was just bouncing off the pavement.I found this, but the data stops in 1990:
Here's what I get in excel, with a trend line:
The trendline is rising at about 0.3°C per decade.
That's about double the global trend.
If Ton does get some of that info from Princeton, maybe I can at least help to confirm some of it. I cannot tell him what the weather was like 60 years ago. I'm sure I was paying more attention to a baby bottle than the weather but it did not change so fast that I wouldn't know something about it. Princeton was darn hot when I was a kid and it's darn hot now. Merritt too.Try this Statistics: Princeton, British Columbia - The Weather Network hope it works for you.
Statistics: Merritt, British Columbia - The Weather Network
The site is a little tricky, you might have to play around with it to ger a specific historic date.
OK- Go to "home", "province", "city", "weather", "statistics". It doesn't appear that you can get complete statistics for all stations, but there must be a brighter candle on the cake than me.................LOL HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP Somebody.
