Frigid air will grip an unusually large portion of the Lower 48 states in just over a week’s time. The cold is predicted to consume almost the entire nation, from the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast, sparing only Florida.
While some parts of the country are forecast to experience temperatures 30 to 50 degrees colder than normal, the cold snap will be most remarkable for the amount of real estate it is predicted to cover.
Brian Brettschneider, a climatologist based in Alaska, noted Thursday that the National Weather Service’s six- to 10-day temperature outlook (below) projected the nation’s largest area with high confidence (90 percent probability) of below-normal temperatures in 15 years of issuing such outlooks.
Even the Government knows that ‘wind turbines’ are death on birds, but now Santa? Evidence shows that we can officially say that AGW-Climate Change-Global Warming (AKA: Weather) is responsible for all Christmas present delays. So FedEx and UPS, you’re off the hook. Merry Christmas to you.
With overnight temperatures dropping well below zero, the National Weather
Service has issued a wind chill advisory for Wednesday night through Thursday morning.
The advisory is in effect from 9 p.m. Wednesday until 10 a.m. Thursday. The weather service said wind chills could reach minus 30 in some areas. It warned people could suffer frostbite in as little as 30 minutes.
One happy corollary, the sub-freezing temperatures slow Chiraq’s murder rate down a bit. Once the sun comes out, and things warm up again…maybe not so much.
Somehow I think the polar bears will do just fine. Here’s a scene from Michigan’s I-94 yesterday before the “lanes reopened after winter weather causes multiple crashes“. Polar bears in Kalamazoo? Maybe that AGW-Climate Change-Global Warming (AKA: Weather) thing is not what it’s cracked up to be?
From the DailyMail, “Get ready for the chill! Forecasters predict temperatures could fall 35 degrees BELOW average as a polar plunge sweeps across the country”.
People across the country and digging into their closets for gloves and scarves ahead of the arrival of the first polar plunge of the season this week.
In what is being described as the coldest arctic blast since last winter, cities as far apart as Seattle and Chicago are expecting to cop a snow-coating in the coming days.
From the Smithsonian, “the giant spinning turbines are basically bird death traps – and often they cut through prime flying space making the carnage even worse.” And the birds are pissed.
