Subfreezing Weather to the Gulf of Mexico

[Silver Pie]

I'm sure people have noticed that it's much colder than normal lately. The United States, Europe, and maybe other places have experienced this.

Here's an article I found interesting that is about the areas affected, as well as the cause of it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/ ... ed-states/

The pattern as a whole is a symptom of a chain-reaction atmospheric shuffle stemming from an early-January disruption of the polar vortex. Hannah Attard, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, noted in an email that it’s “what I would expect to see” after a sudden warming in the upper atmosphere over the North Pole.

That abrupt warming dislodged colder air ordinarily contained in the polar vortex to the mid-latitudes

That abrupt warming dislodged colder air ordinarily contained in the polar vortex to the mid-latitudes. Atmospheric scientists refer to an index known as the Arctic Oscillation, or AO, as an indicator of how bottled-up that cold air is. When the AO swings negative, big outbreaks of cold over North America, Europe and Asia are possible.

Global warming!

Here's a screenshot of our weather here in Iowa today. The wind chill is the "feels like" temp - what the air feels like on your skin. So, just a little nippy out.

Global warming!

Lol
Totally.

So, I wonder, when they were touting "global warming" because of melting ice caps, did it occur to them that it would actually be global freezing?

Whatever the case Genesis 1:28 commands us to deal with it.

Well, that's why they decided they needed to upgrade their scam. And call it "climate change", because that way they could sucker more saps into it.

But what that ignores is the simple fact that any idiot can easily know that the climate has been changing since the beginning of time. Where I came from in Michigan once was covered with 100 or 200 feet of ice. Yes, glacier.

And some of where I lived in California was also. But now isn't. Yes, Yosemite Valley and many other parts of California were formed by ... glaciers.

So you see there have been some rather extreme changes over a great deal of time.

What the real issue is, is, what is the cause of this change? Is it man, or more specifically American man, and mostly white American man who must be limited and broken and fettered while the rest of the world continues to pollute at a greatly expanding rate?

Or is it simply one of those inevitable things, with which we must just live.

Whoa!

Here in Wyoming, they said the windchill could go down to -30. I think it only got down to -22 thus far. I'm surprised that you are colder than us.


(We are in southern Wyoming; I'm sure northern Wyoming is colder.)

[Silver Pie]

Whatever the case Genesis 1:28 commands us to deal with it.

God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

So we should subdue the ice caps? Interesting thought.

[Lizzy60]

It’s only a windchill of -2 here just north of Fort Worth. I guess I should go out for a walk.......nah, just kidding.

We recently moved and now work from home. The walk to work tomorrow is going to be awesome!

That's the problem I have with it. People are blamed for this and I don't think we are that powerful (unless several countries decide to nuke everyone else, then-yes-that could seriously affect the climate on a global scale).

I honestly believe that the earth is simply going through her seasons, the seasons she has been going through since she was created.

For sure!

I have a niece who lives in Texas. Apparently, there is no winter gear there (at least where she is). I mean, y'know, in such a warm/hot place, who would expect to go skiing?

[Silver Pie]

I joked a few days ago that when we hit 7 F, it would be practically summer.

Mini ice ages happen regularly every 400-500 years. It’s a solar cycle, we are likely right on the cusp of one. It has nothing to do with man.

Do you have a link to that information? (I'm not doubting you. I would just like to read more about that.)

[bbrown]

Google grand solar minimum or deep solar minimum. The last one was the 1600’s mini ice age. There is evidence to suggest it happens regularly. It’s a complex topic that one article would not be sufficient and there are different views on it. I have read yay’s and nay’s and believe it will get cooler. I do not believe in carbon based global warming. I do believe the global climate is in a constant state of change and always has been.

That is just amazing--so much colder than many "cold states" right now.
And now a blizzard of snow! I hope your hot water heater is not in the attic.

Thermohaline circulation is a model in which cold water from melting arctic sea ice goes deep and rises near the equator via north to south ocean currents and convection. Ocean Water temperature in turn effects air temperature and precipitation, so the model of thermohaline circulation argues that a degree of melting sea ice could cause cooling.

From wind chills near 60 below zero in the Upper Midwest to an ice storm all the way to the Gulf Coast, it is rare that winter weather gets this extreme. The culprit is a polar vortex teaming up a very active jet stream.

That means cold, snow and ice for hundreds of millions of Americans.

A wave of harsh winter weather and bitter cold temperatures left a swath of the Pacific Northwest and parts of the East blanketed in ice and snow Sunday, as more foul weather took aim at the nation's southern tier.

The storm that blasted the west left more than 245,000 homes and businesses without power Sunday night in Oregon alone. To the north in Seattle, more than a foot of snow fell by Sunday morning and more precipitation was expected in the form of sleet or rain that could contribute to power outages, The Seattle Times reported.

I wonder how many of us on the planet will look at all of that and say, "I think God is calling us to repentance. I'd better ask God what I need to repent of?"

My guess is that it ranges from zero to possibly a handful.

(Which made me think I need to be one of those who do ask God that.)

[gkearney]

While not as extreme we are cool even here in southern most Arizona (Yuma). I have weather stations at both my houses, Yuma and Kansas you can see their reporting here:

Right now at my house, 'warmest' part of the day, and the wind chill is -22, with an actual temp of -3. Still have about 4 feet of snow on the ground, depending on the drifts (some taller, some smaller). Our cars struggle to start (and that's inside our garage), and the house creaks and pops all night long - we joke that it's freezing to death. This is actually a typical winter for Iowa - it's really cold here with the Canadian air blowing right down on us, with no mountains anywhere to be a buffer against it. The last few winters have been relatively mild, so we got kind of spoiled - but the weather we're having this winter reminds us of every winter we had just after we moved here 33 years ago. I like winter and cold weather, but this is freaky cold. One of our sister missionaries is from Alaska, and she said yesterday that it's colder here than there, lol.

Global warming is real guys.

Even with the current record cold in the midsection of the United States, the global temperature is still warmer than normal.

https://climatereanalyzer.org/wx/DailySummary/#t2anom

Yes, the United States is below normal. The Arctic region and the tropics are above normal and even with the tongues of cold air penetrating eastern Europe and the midsection of the USA, you have a batch of much warmer air in North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Look outside of your own backyard for once. This is a real occurrence.
