Is anymore proof required of global warming?
Than this?
Winter is cold. Stop the presses!
If this global warming crap gets any worse we are all going to freeze to death!
oh my…. I mean really??? It’s winter folks…. it gets cold and snowy and the jet stream sometimes drops down in odd ways. When will the reporting insanity end???
It was +60 degrees here in Kansas City yesterday. I think it was some reverse polar inversion which I’m sure is being blamed on carbon life forms. The East Coast was told not to put their winter gear away just yet, but I’m sure it’s all right for us being it’s already January 13th.
Cold weather during winter?
WTF???
What ever. Time to dial down the hand-waving and drama.
It’s January, and they call these things COLD SPELLS.
How did the grandchildren of the Depression/WW2 generation become such wusses?
Just as Joe Bastardi of WeatherBELL said it would be.

Currently hyperventilating as I type this. :-)
Not too long ago, we in New England had a thing called WINTER. Every now and then the weather people cautioned us to dress warmly because of a recurring event called the “Coming of the MONTREAL EXPRESS”.
OK, we dressed warmly, gassed up the car, and managed to live through it. I remember once, as a kid and the temperature, but without a wind, dropped to -29F in the middle of Massachusetts.
With GLOBULL Warming, there is no longer a Montreal Express. Now we suffer from the POLAR VORTEX. Oh the humanity.
It does appear there’s a correlation between the professional football season and the cold. Notice how we never have cold during the baseball season. Perhaps a movement to play baseball year round would help to avoid sleet and snow.
I need to get my 4x4 fixed. 2X is getting dangerous with all the snow brought on by this feakish seasonal climate change.
(Eye roll here)
Reporters eating up the “Polar Vortex” terminology uncritically.
reminds me of the time Tim Flannery (utility player for the Padres) told a reporter that the gloves made today were nowhere near as good as the gloves of years past because the hole in the ozone layer was making the feed cows eat irradiated, causing their leather to be much thinner.
The reporter just nodded “yes!” and wrote the story of the interview.
Flannery was a hoot and enjoyed making stuff up to reporters. :)
Cold weather in the northern USA in January... completely unheard of!
IOW, fairly typical January weather for here.
and the weather channel wonders why direct tv is dropping them.
