What's happening?? It's so cold outside!

Onkel Neal · 01-02-18, 09:35 PM

Man, heavy snow in south Texas early December, now 4 days of sub-freezing cold. My horse does not like this weather, and I don't either.

CNN says all 50 states are freezing? What? Even Hawaii? Ha, I don't think so. Fake news!

Anyone in the North dealing with those deep snow blizzards I see on the Weather Channel?

The weather is getting more extreme all over the world.

There's a cold gale battering our little house on the prairie right now... very dark out there this morning.

Mr Quatro · 01-03-18, 05:38 AM

yes it is cold even colder for blondes

Wall to wall sunshine with a howling wind here. Look if the rest of you are fed up with the cold and snow move to Southern England its warm 99% all year round.

A funny thing happens around here every year. Around November it starts to get cold. By January it gets really cold. And this white stuff falls like magic from the sky. Then around April it all goes away. It's a mystery. The government and scientists need to look into this and do something. I've written letters but get no answers. Anybody know what's going on?

Junkies are snorting it.

Some atmospheric air stream over the Northern pole rotated slow the past months, due to the warming there having decreased temperature differences which are vital to keep this air movement at higher pace. The lower activity leads to slower air streams more southwards, with the result that cold temperatures showing up there do not get transported away that qucikly as they used to. Its a paradoxical effect of warming at the poles. The same was predicted for Europe this winter as well, but so far has not materialised. Could still happen, however. We have had unusual many gales and storms and way above average precipitation, floodings in 2017 over here.

Sorry for my free use of layman terminology.

Clearly we hacked your weather.

Some kind of "bomb cyclone" headed your way, Yanks, any precautions you can take? Does this kind of thing shut you in the house?

Rockstar · 01-03-18, 10:39 AM

Were expecting freezing temps, high winds and a buttload of snow. Then as the system moves northward the winds will back to the south and draw in warm air expecting temps to reach the mid forties Monday.

Whatever this "bomb cyclone" weather system is it really doesn't look good! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.b0308da75ff8

I mean really -16F in Jacksonville by the 6th?! For some reason this weather reminds me of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". So what next bowling ball sized hail in Tokyo?

The further north one travels the more they find folks address these storms without issue. Just another day for most. Some welcome it and enjoy getting shut in for a day or two. I have a friend in NH who every year posts pictures of firewood stacking and putting away his convertible mustang for winter. Just a way of life for them. However, go to GA and snowflake shuts the state down for days on end. I recall BO during his first term(2011) made a joke about closing of federal buildings and schools as a result of 1 inch of snow on the ground in DC. Keeping in mind BO lived in Chicago. He got beat up a bit over it.
