Northeast, Midwest to face crippling ice storm that could threaten millions
NY Post ^ | 02/03/2025 | FOX Weather

More subfreezing air would also surge into the Upper Midwest, allowing for heavy snow to develop north of the swath of ice.

“Don’t be married to the location, but get married to the idea that the upper echelon of ice accumulation could be a tenth to a quarter,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Britta Merwin said. “That’s enough for power outages. So, know that travel is going to be disrupted, but also we could lose power. So, it’s a good idea to grab extra supplies if you’re in the zone.”

With scenario two, a weaker low-pressure system would develop in the Plains, and a new coastal low would form along the East Coast and take over the dominant system.

A weaker low-level jet stream would mean less widespread freezing rain. However, some areas like the Ohio Valley and Pennsylvania could still see a significant ice threat.

This should put a crimp in Skyhook Hakeem’s illegal alien war in the Streets of America. The illegal alien Fire Alarm Army will be freezing its chestnuts off.

Here in northern CT the driveway is a skating rink (rain, then freeze, then a coating of snow).

Walking the dog means hanging on for dear life while he slides around trying to get his footing.

It is a total comedy show.

Looks like the groundhog was right. As long as it stays away from Alabama!

I don’t believe it. Thanks to “global warming” winter is no longer a thing, right?

Help us Al Gore!

Can’t be that bad; they haven’t named it yet.

With the funding for street protests/color revolutions drying up thanks to the Trump Administration decapitating USAID I think we will see less protesting.

And California may flood and experience mudslides from lots of rain. Trump will be blamed for opening the flow of water as atmospheric river rains down.

I went skiing yesterday at Mount Sunapee in central NH near the VT border. It was about (-6) driving up at 7am.
About (-4) on the first chair lift at 8am.
What was interesting was that it was 10 ABOVE ZERO at the TOP of the mountain.
Meaning the colder dense air sinks down in the valleys on those cold clear nights.

It was a FACE MASK day until about 11am. No exposed skin.
The conditions were the best of the season so far. Plus, the cold temps kept the weekend crowds away.

This has to be FAKE NEWS, Global Warming orthodoxy says we are on the verge of Spontateous Combustion from man made global warming, Ice and SNOW are Impossibilities according to Global Warming Consensus...
