NOAA reports 4th warmest January

As seems to be a pattern now, the hottest weather eludes much of the East Coast, where most of the lawmakers and major media reside. 

The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for January 2010 was 0.60°C (1.08°F) above the 20^th century average of 12.0°C (53.6°F). This is the fourth warmest January on record.
