And even if it didn't freeze somewhere else, it would still be cold. Yes, Ray - complicates the picture.

An analogy that I sometimes used to explain (to myself, anyway)how global warming might lead to local cooling is this: Take an ice cube and hold it near a hot lamp. Hold your hand under it and collect the water. Is the water cold or hot?

As I said though, I'm not an expert.......
