We're only midway through November, and winter weather records in Boise are falling left and right.
Temperatures at the Boise Airport bottomed out at 6 degrees Monday morning, breaking a 134-year-old record of 7 degrees set on Nov. 17, 1880.
Record cold in Boise Monday morning 151 and possibly again Tuesday Boise Garden City Mountain Home Idahostatesman.com
Where is all that cold air coming from? Is the Earth suddenly cooling off? No. The Polar Vortex is being deformed by Rossby Waves which are bringing typical Arctic air much further to the south in the eastern North American continent. Warm, sub-tropical air, west of the Rockies and throughout the eastern Pacific is being driven much further north than normal by the exact same phenomenon. Super Typhoon Nuri (?) being driven into the Aleutians is easily as unusual as the cold November weather in Georgia and Tennessee. The same pattern is being repeated around the planet.
So what? Is there more cold air in the Northern Hemisphere as a result?Where is all that cold air coming from? Is the Earth suddenly cooling off? No. The Polar Vortex is being deformed by Rossby Waves which are bringing typical Arctic air much further to the south in the eastern North American continent. Warm, sub-tropical air, west of the Rockies and throughout the eastern Pacific is being driven much further north than normal by the exact same phenomenon.

Over the past 7 days if we look at the entire country there have been a lot of cold records being set. The chart below shows for example, 1360 daily low maximum records. This means those places had cold high temperatures which were records. Simply put, those cities and towns saw their coldest daily highs ever recorded.

Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth
With nasty cold fronts thrusting an icy and early winter across the continental U.S. — along with last winter described by USA Today as "one of the snowiest, coldest, most miserable on record" — climatologist John L. Casey thinks the weather pattern is here to stay for decades to come.
In fact, Casey, a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant, is out with the provocative book "Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell," which warns that a radical shift in global climate is underway, and that Al Gore and other environmentalists have it completely wrong.
The earth, he says, is cooling, and cooling fast.
And unless the scientific community and political leaders act soon, cold, dark days are ahead.
A small group of alarmist morons,
Actually, it looks like 2014 may be the hottest year on record.
My god, Jroc, what is it going to take for you to wake up? How can you be so out of touch?
You may have heard that September 2014 was the warmest September ever recorded and that the past six months were the hottest April through September in 130 years of records. NASA Earth Observatory readers sometimes ask: How much does it matter when a monthly or yearly temperature record is broken? And where does global temperature data come from?

You believe in your religion you're a pious man...As I said we've had the coldest summer on record here in MI...Wow!! Tampa FL got down to 37 degrees last night!!Actually, it looks like 2014 may be the hottest year on record.

making shit up!!!!A small group of alarmist morons,
I think you mean the entire scientific community, actually.
Of the 60 largest scientific organisations on earth - not one backs up your claims here. Some 59 confirm AGW.
It's also worth mentioning that recent polling around the world shows well over 80% of the public understanding climate change, plus an even higher percentage of business leaders.
