The National Weather Service in Portland issued the following Record Report on Monday. Note that records go back to the 19th century at most stations. And as meteorologist Dr. Roy Spencer pointed out, we still have a few months to go before the La Nina cold really takes hold.

Once the cold air mass over Western Oregon dried out, under clear skies, atmospheric carbon dioxide was not able to keep us warm.

Noted climate realist, Dr. Gordon Fulks said, "Perhaps Governor Brown needs to call Professor Phil Mote at OSU to find out what is going wrong with his climate theories. Could it be that CO2 is not a very important greenhouse gas after all? Water vapor, as a greenhouse gas and as clouds, is obviously doing the heavy lifting here. And when it disappears for a short while, we get cold. This is very elementary meteorology."

The report was prepared by Clinton Rockey in the National Weather Service Portland Office.
