-------------------------------------


GISS will show you a map that minimizes the data, and uses the coldest period in the last century as a baseline for the anomalies.

This shows a more scientific view of just how cold February was, especially in the areas that saw records broken for both cold and snow.

Since GISS has changed the version they use, compare the 2014 version with the current one
