2012 could be Wisconsin's warmest year
MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin is on pace to be the hottest year on record.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel also reports the forecast for the first few weeks of December likely will mean snowplow drivers in southern Wisconsin won’t have much snow to move.
National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Gehring says a low pressure system is expected to track north of Wisconsin by Saturday and usher in warm winds from the south with temperatures forecast in the high 40s and maybe even 50s.
Through Nov. 24, the average temperature in Milwaukee was 54 degrees. It was 53.8 degrees for Madison.
The current record-holding year is 1931. Through Nov. 24 of that year, the average temperature in Madison was 53.1 degrees and 53.8 degrees in Milwaukee.

I'm near retirement, and I think the weather/climate is warming. I don't know if it's caused by people. After all, there has been ice ages and very warm weather over millions of years.

our crazy warm weather is related to climate change....the drought of 1931 was related to the la nina/el nino weather patterns...

Of course the point is that most Republicans would not do well on a hot stove. "Hey, it's only a couple of degrees warmer, that's nothing!"

The story says nothing about global warming.
You would not do well in a police interview.

booch11 - This story has nothing to do with global warming. The proof of global warming, as with anything else is the data, and the data shows the Earth is warming up.
I'm just sayin'...

I always love these stories that somehow give "proof" of global warming.
Certainly it's been a warm year, but what was happening in 1931? Global warming?
