Looks like next week might be one of the coldest weeks in the continental US in our lifetimes. Right now it is insane. North Dakota is warmer then Texas. That will all change late Sunday night.

Holy smokes. Looks like one of the Gob Stoppers my daughter used to crave that she put on a rock in the direct sun. Heheh. See what you mean. We are in for one Hell of a lot of brutally cold weather. I think they drugged the groundhog into thinking it would be an early spring. The cold is here to stay. Hopefully Canada and the US will be able to get at least a minimum growing season in this year. And I should add the rest of the northern hemisphere's grain crops etc..
Global cooling is here to stay for quite some time.

Can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something odd here...

I should have added. Looks like there are going to be a lot of sourer faces on the AGW side when Arctic ice eventually builds up to what we saw years back and then exceeds it. So much for mercantile activities in the Arctic Ocean in the near future.

Eventually the spring/summer sun will warm things up a bit, but the extended Arctic Blast we will get next week will be very nasty. Looks to run at least 4 nights strong, which is amazing, and might run 5 to 6 nights. And as we saw with this last Arctic Blast, that cold dense air mass has momentum once it gets heading south. Mexico has also been dealing with record cold.

That Ground Hog went over to the dark side. Probably looking for one of them there retirement golden parachutes.

Clarification: I opined:

Climatologists are talking out their arses.

I meant the global warming "experts" when I use the word "climatologist." Don't want to offend anyone here who makes a living watching the weather! If "climatologist" means a weatherman, somebody talking about the immediate climate -- the weather -- I thank God for them. Weathermen save lives.

Zipheads are pronouncing trends, monitoring global climate, and making predictions by using info from a graphed moment, a fragment of a sliver of time, from a million-mile ten-foot-high fence.

It doesn't matter if the records go back 30 years or 300 years or 3,000 years. Look it up and see what the sea levels were 20,000 years ago and 150,000 years ago. And then: COMPUTE!

"That Ground Hog went over to the dark side."
Heheheh. Pretty good. Hang in there.
