Notice how they mention La Nina as a probable cause -- but, when we have a warm winter, it's because of "global warming" -- not El Niño.
Well, this should be good for the Ice Road. “Ice Road Truckers” is one of my favorite History Channel series.
Ping
Your list, for.
I’m glad I put a block heater in my car this summer...
They should invite the pompous windbag Algore up for a week. I’d like to see 300 pounds moving down the ice...
Yeah baby! Colder temperature = greater weight per axle! Let’s rock!
What year was the major ice storm up there that took down all the high line towers runnning into one of the big cities?
Saw a show on History or National Geographic about it. After the first couple of days up there things were starting to look a little grim.
Must be caused by global warming.
I lived in the far north for decades & I had a block heater, oil pan heater, electric battery blanket and interior warmer. When I moved to Victoria, people would ask me about the plugs sticking out from the grill of my SUV — they thought it was an electric vehicle.
Impossible!!! The globe is warming. This news agency is wacked!!! lol.
I wonder if that means the northern US will be colder or warmer than usual? Could be warmer down here, if this forecast means that the jet stream will keep the artic air mass up north over Canada.
AlGore says no!
Well, it’s in the forties and raining here in SoCal, and we should have below freezing temps over the weekend.
Opps, I forgot to mention the trickle charger mounted next to the battery. (A partially discharged battery will freeze in no time, at 50 below — even with a blanket.)
That!, takes some cojones!
That cold wave is bad news for Canada.
First, Canada is threatened by old beer refrigerators:

Now there’ll be concern about making sure the beer doesn’t freeze!
