March Was Coldest in U.S. Since 2002
2014-04-15 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The East vs. West weather divide that was in place across the contiguous U.S. throughout the winter lingered into March, with the eastern portion of the country trending colder than normal and the western portion still warmer than normal. The temperature trends and rankings for each of the 48 contiguous states for March 2014. Colder-than-average temperatures in the East and warmer-than-average temperatures in the West persisted. For the lower 48 as a whole, this March was the coldest on record...
This Winter Was the 34th Coldest on Record in U.S

Yale Environment 360: Although many residents of eastern North America may feel like theyve just suffered through a winter of record cold, the fact is that the winter of 2013-2014 was only the 34th coldest in 119 years of record keeping in the U.S. As this map from the U.S. National Climatic Data Center shows, temperatures in the eastern and southern U.S. from Dec. 1, 2013, to Feb. 28th, 2014, were as much as 8 degrees C (14 F) colder than the 2000 to 2013 average for those months. But the western U.S. and Alaska saw...
The International Space Station will soon become the coldest place in the known universe for science!
2014-02-03 20:04:33| Extremetech
Here's one of the coolest sentences you'll ever read: The International Space Station will soon be the coldest place in the known universe. A new instrument that will be sent to the ISS, called the Cold Atom Lab, will reach temperatures as low as 100 picokelvin -- 100 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero. As matter approaches absolute zero, it starts to exhibit some very odd, rather quantum behavior. Because it's so hard to reach these temperatures, and because the material universe acts so weirdly when you get down that low, no one actually knows what the Cold Atom Lab will discover -- but NASA seems to be pretty certain that the findings will be fascinating, in any case.

Coldest Air in Decades Clearing Customs, Entering U.S
2014-01-03 23:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: If the cold and snow currently blanketing the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast from a fierce winter storm were not bad enough, an even colder blast is expected to arrive early next week. That's when a large section of the "polar vortex" that normally remains over Canada and the Arctic seems ready to pay an unwelcome visit to the continental U.S. The cold air has already had a major impact. At the height of the snowstorm in Boston early Friday, temperatures were in single digits, making it one of the...
