Europe experienced stark weather contrasts on Wednesday, with extreme cold and snowstorms disrupting transportation and closing schools in Scandinavia while strong winds and heavy rain in western Europe caused flooding and at least one death.

Temperatures fell below minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit) in the Nordic region for a second day in a row Wednesday. In Kvikkjokk-Årrenjarka in Swedish Lapland, the mercury dropped to minus 43.6 C (minus 46.5 F), the lowest January temperature recorded in Sweden in 25 years, Sweden’s TT news agency reported.

Extremely cold temperatures, snow and gale-force winds disrupted transportation throughout the Nordic region, with several bridges closed and some train and ferry services suspended. Several schools in Scandinavia were closed.

The wave of cold air from Siberia and the Arctic region has also swept down over western Russia, with temperatures in Moscow and other areas plummeting to minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 F), well below the average temperature for early January.

I’ve heard of his writing being compared to collections of random words just scribbled on paper. And then the interpretations are up to the reader/translator. And that’s how he get so much stuff right.

Imagine, if the Leftist mush-brained folks actually could
alter the weather. They’d kill off half the planet in
less than 48 months.

” Or are you just completely anti-American like I think you are?”

I’m completely AGAINST Biden’s Wars, but you sound like you support Biden. No surprise. Neocon Cheerleaders have NO CHOICE but to support Biden’s Wars.

Right, they converge at -40:

212°-32°=180°
180°/100°=1.8

-40°*1.8=-72°
32°-72°=-40°
