La Nina set to bring arctic plunge, heavy snow to millions in preview of frigid winter to come (only 5.23 years left)

Next week’s pre-winter arctic plunge might be a sign of things to come for the Eastern U.S., as several key weather patterns will converge to bring early bone-chilling cold and potentially more snowstorms to the region.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, two weather patterns, La Niña and an easterly Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, will allow more rounds of arctic air that is typically trapped high above the North Pole to spill into the lower levels of the atmosphere and south into the Eastern U.S.

This frigid air is known as the “Polar Vortex.”

Air in the polar vortex sits in the stratosphere, some 10 to 30 miles above the Earth’s poles and intensifies during the winter, when a lack of sunlight cools air at this height to below -70 degrees Celcius.

The polar vortex typically remains locked over the North Pole and Northern Canada as well as up in the stratosphere, separated from warmer air in the lower level of the atmosphere, the troposphere—that makes up the weather we experience.

While the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is typically the driver of most weather, another lesser-known climate pattern, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) will play a big role early this winter.

The QBO refers to the direction winds are blowing in the stratosphere around the equator, which in turn will influence the strength of the Polar Vortex.

Not a good movie, either.

With all their hockey hullabaloo and that b____ Anne Murray, too.

OH NO! The Arctic Plunge! Honestly do these Chicken Littles never get tired of their act?!

[Rummyfan]

I already got mine lol! I hope it’s enough….

[Rummyfan]

LOL! I get it…

[MayflowerMadam]

I didn’t see a list of states that will be impacted.

[waterhill]

They got a heck of an ad campaign!

Wait until half the ice snaps off Antarctica in 2300. Then you’ll have something to cry about.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Where is the global warming I was promised? Huh?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

We need to build a Great Wall on our Northern Border!

[Noumenon]

I’m still waiting to have my trunamumlumprazhure mobilized like Uncle Joe promised.

[lurk]

Can we get the government to re-direct the polar vortex to the Rocky Mountains? We’ll take that deep snow, all it can give.

The UN grifters are mad at Trump for not buying into their grifting fantasy play...

I saw this movie! Dennis Quaid, Jake Gwylinalphabet, and a Dich Cheney stand-in who apologized for being so so wrong.
Almost everyone died, algore’s wet dream.

Time for another round of....Blame Canada!

If only they would build a big beautiful wall. :)

When you are out on the Texas flat land and there is nothing between you and the North Pole but some barbed wire and a few cows and the north wind starts blowing it gets cold.

Now that there is what I call a Sábado gigante!

[ohioman]

We use to call this a cold front.

[OrangeHoof]

As cold as a titches’ wit.
