Use an IR thermometer to measure abnormal cold spikes in certain areas where the surrounding air is otherwise warm.
By the mid-nineties, when Ron and his kids were running with the Radio Flyer and Tiny's team, the cold autumnal spikes had nearly vanished.
Furthermore, hot and cold temperature spikes may be lethal to certain species during critical life stages, but inadequately described within mean temperature datasets (Bateman et al. 2012; Reyer et al. 2013) regardless of temperature measurement height.
Yeast cells from 2.5 ml overnight cultures were collected by centrifugation at 0.8 g, washed once with distilled water, suspended in 1 ml of cold methanol spiked with 10 µg of heptadecanoic acid (17∶0) (Sigma, St . Louis MO, USA) as an internal standard, and disrupted by vortexing with 0.5 mm diameter glass beads.
An equal volume of ice cold methanol spiked with 1 1,000 1 mg/ml methotrexateGlu6 was added, vortexed and centrifuged at 4°C as above.
Mary Ann Rothman, executive director of the Council for New York Cooperatives and Condominiums, said that buildings have faced large increases in property taxes and insurance costs as well as outsized fuel bills this winter, stemming from the bitter cold and the spike in oil prices.
I can see two main Twitters emerging post-line breaks (assuming Twitter doesn't get cold feet and spike the feature).
The first problem with such widespread cold is a spike in electric-heating and gas-heating demand since everyone is turning up the heat and it takes a lot more energy to keep us at comfortable temperatures.
The point was reinforced last winter when, faced with unusually cold weather and spiking demand for fuel, the industry couldn't ramp up production quickly, and benchmark natural gas prices briefly doubled in a month.
