More Evidence Of Global Waming...Not

From the Alaska/Weather Blog: Brian has a helpful post on the very warm summer at Anchorage and Fairbanks.
A cold airmass and clear skies allowed for temperatures to plunge to record low levels in the northern Interior.
Most notably,  Bettles recorded a low of 15ºF Saturday morning. This is by far the lowest temperature of record at Bettles in August. The previous record at the Bettles in August was 22ºF on August 30, 1969. At old Bettles, about four miles downriver from the current townsite, a low of 20ºF was measured on August 24, 1948.
Other low temperatures included 17ºF at both Chandalar DOT and Coldfoot DOT and a chilly 13F at the Norutak Lake RAWS west of Bettles. These are close to, but not at the record low temperature for the month of August in the state.   http://ak-wx.blogspot.de/2013/08/record-cold-in-northern-interior.html
Meanwhile, here in Las Vegas, we are having a cooler and wetter summer, except for a couple of weeks in the early part of the summer.
Down in South America:

The Peruvian government has extended to nine more regions a state of emergency called to cope with unusually cold weather and heavy snowfall.

At least two people have died and 33,000 others have been affected by the cold spell, local officials say.
Tens of thousands of animals have frozen to death over the past week.
President Ollanta Humala has travelled to Apurimac, one of the worst-hit areas, to oversee the distribution of emergency aid.
The state of emergency would be in place for 20 days, an official statement said.
The heaviest snow fall to hit Peru in a decade has killed tens of thousands of llamas, alpacas, cattle and sheep, and left farmers destitute.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-23916217
