The Northern Hemisphere is the warmest this year since record-keeping started 127 years ago, according to the National Climatic Data Center.

Temperatures for January through October averaged 1.3 degrees above the norm. If the trend continues, the year could break the record for the warmest set in 2005.

I'll have to disagree with NOAA -- the south will remain warm for the most part.. but the upper midwest and northern new england will be pretty cold.

We had snow twice, too, and expecting two more this week. We also had temperatures below freezing and an early frost. Oh, well, weather reporters aren't perfect!
