Stiff breezes were expected to create dangerously cold wind chills across south-eastern Georgia and most of north-eastern Florida.

The National Weather Service issued wind chill advisories covering a vast area from South Texas to Canada and from Montana and Wyoming through New England.

Tourists visiting the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls snapped photos of flowing water that had turned to icicles.

Temperatures plunge across US heartland

The mass of frigid air pumped south by a dip in the jet stream sent temperatures plunging across the US heartland.

Omaha posted a low of -29C, breaking a 130-year-old record, and Aberdeen, South Dakota, shattered a record set in 1919 with a temperature of -36C.

The cold will be unrelenting across the Middle Atlantic and north-eastern US, and Mr Hurley said up to two dozen low temperature records were expected in those regions over the next day or two.

Although the cold should ease across most of the US after Tuesday, the north-eastern quarter of the country will see a repeat of the current frigid temperatures on Thursday and Friday as another arctic blast hits the area.

"We're still talking (11 to 17C) below normal," Mr Hurley said.

"So, here we go again."

The private AccuWeather forecaster said the cold snap could combine with a storm brewing off the Bahamas to bring snow and high winds to much of the Eastern Seaboard as it heads north on Wednesday and Thursday.

The only part of the United States spared the deep freeze is the Southwest.

From this thread one can see that people struggle to tell the difference between weather and climate. It’s an issue that impacts both the believers and non-believers.

The climate change zealots are no better. The universe if 14 billion years old yet these morons actually believe that a mere 50 years of warming signals the end of mankind.

50 years is such a minuscule period of time in earth's history that it does not even register on the timeline.

There are a myriad of factors that determine the mean temperature at any given time. We are not even remotely close to understanding how things work yet suddenly carbon is singled out as the source of all evil. It's a very convenient bogeyman though because carbon emissions trading is a great cash cow if you know how to play the game.

It's like the middle ages when the local witch was blamed for all the misfortunes that befell a town or village. The solution was to burn her at the stake which ironically would release more carbon were it still the practice today.

from geological records, there were ancient droughts in california that lasted over 200 years in the year 850 followed by an 180-year drought 50 years later. during the last 5-year drought from 2011 to 2015 we have "climate scientists" blaming it on "global warming" followed by "climate change." these so called climate scientists have not been looking long enough. the definition of "climate" itself is also under assault, as we may not fully fathom the geologic pace of massive changes in the earth's core which contributes to earth's ambient temperature relative to the atmosphere. there were mass extinction events hundreds of millions of years ago because the core decided to blow up with massive volcanic eruptions.

California’s current drought is being billed as the driest period in the state’s recorded rainfall history. But scientists who study the West’s long-term climate patterns say the state has been parched for much longer stretches before that 163-year historical period began.

And they worry that the “megadroughts” typical of California’s earlier history could come again.

Through studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence, researchers have documented multiple droughts in California that lasted 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — compared to the mere three-year duration of the current dry spell. The two most severe megadroughts make the Dust Bowl of the 1930s look tame: a 240-year-long drought that started in 850 and, 50 years after the conclusion of that one, another that stretched at least 180 years.

“We continue to run California as if the longest drought we are ever going to encounter is about seven years,” said Scott Stine, a professor of geography and environmental studies at Cal State East Bay. “We’re living in a dream world.”

California in 2013 received less rain than in any year since it became a state in 1850. And at least one Bay Area scientist says that based on tree ring data, the current rainfall season is on pace to be the driest since 1580 — more than 150 years before George Washington was born. The question is: How much longer will it last?

A megadrought today would have catastrophic effects.

California, the nation’s most populous state with 38 million residents, has built a massive economy, Silicon Valley, Hollywood and millions of acres of farmland, all in a semiarid area. The state’s dams, canals and reservoirs have never been tested by the kind of prolonged drought that experts say will almost certainly occur again.

Stine, who has spent decades studying tree stumps in Mono Lake, Tenaya Lake, the Walker River and other parts of the Sierra Nevada, said that the past century has been among the wettest of the last 7,000 years.

Looking back, the long-term record also shows some staggeringly wet periods. The decades between the two medieval megadroughts, for example, delivered years of above-normal rainfall — the kind that would cause devastating floods today.

The longest droughts of the 20th century, what Californians think of as severe, occurred from 1987 to 1992 and from 1928 to 1934. Both, Stine said, are minor compared to the ancient droughts of 850 to 1090 and 1140 to 1320.

Thus my last sentence in my posts. Both sides are struggling to put their case across. This post of yours is the most reasonable argument thus far in this forum. The time factor is a key component when it involves climate.

Fuck the media on climate and global warming. If people could just buy and use what they need - simple as that. If u would see the amount of junk being thrown out in the weeks and months leading to cny these days and u will guess how much waste and useless stuff humans have bought.

These days we are defined but what we buy not what we do with what we buy.

Heavy snowfall wreaks havoc in China; 21 killed, economic losses worth 3.5 billion yuan recorded


Beijing: Heavy snowfall in China continued to wreak havoc on Monday, damaging houses, agriculture and power facilities, with authorities saying 21 people have been killed and millions hit in the last one week.

The provinces that have been badly hit by the weather are Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Chongqing Municipality, the China National Commission for Disaster Reduction said.

More than 3,700 people have been relocated and 14,000 are in need of emergency assistance, said the commission, noting that over 700 houses had collapsed and nearly 2,800 were damaged, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

The weather has affected more than 2,33,100 hectares of farmland, with more than 8,100 hectares destroyed, causing direct economic losses of 5.55 billion yuan ($854 million), it said.

Nineteen expressways in northeast Liaoning province have been closed or controlled since the snow started last night, according to local transport authorities.

The snow will result in icy roads, the local observatory said in its forecast.

Liaoning will see temperatures plunge by up to 10 degrees Celsius due to the snowfall, it said.

In Xinyang city, central China's Henan province, snowfall from Wednesday to Friday, the worst since local records began in 1951, killed one person and injured three others.

Primary and middle schools in the city have suspended classes since Thursday.

The disaster flattened 26 houses and damaged over 2,000 hectares of crops, causing total economic losses of 219 million yuan ($33.8 million), officials said.

In eastern China's Anhui province, quilts and coats have been distributed to residents to withstand the biting cold, following heavy snow since Wednesday, the worst in Anhui since 2008.

The snow has affected 1.5 million people and damaged over 1,60,000 hectares of crops, causing total economic losses of 3.5 billion yuan, Xinhua quoted the provincial government as saying.

Meanwhile, the meteorological authority today renewed a yellow alert for a cold front across the country.

From Tuesday to Wednesday, the temperature is expected to drop by six to eight degrees Celsius in northern, northeastern, central and southern China, including parts of Inner Mongolia and Yunnan, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said.

China has a four-tier colour-coded weather warning system, with red being the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

Mass Evacuation at Swiss Ski Resort of Zermatt

Tourists airlifted out of Swiss ski resort of Zermatt
Jon Henley,The Guardian 8 hours ago

Helicopters have airlifted stranded holidaymakers from the upmarket Swiss ski resort of Zermatt after about 13,000 tourists were trapped in the mountain village for two days by heavy recent snowfall and an exceptional risk of avalanches.

Local police said the airlift was taking about 100 people an hour who urgently needed to leave Zermatt to the nearby village of Täsch, a three minute flight, from where rail replacement buses were available for their onward journey.

The resort said on its website that ski slopes, hiking paths and cable cars around the village remained closed. It advised people to follow instructions and stay at home so as not to hamper the ongoing clear-up operation.

A spokeswoman for the well-known winter sports resort near the Matterhorn mountain, Janine Imesch, said there was no immediate risk to “around 13,000 tourists” who remained there, approaching Zermatt’s maximum capacity.

Imesch said electricity in the village had now been restored after an earlier power cut, although the resort continued to warn of “possible power breakdowns all over Zermatt”. A further update was expected at 7pm local time.

“Everything is normal, everything is under control,” Imesch told the Guardian. “People are enjoying the snow, going shopping, eating and drinking. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. No one can go skiing or hiking, but it’s quiet, even a little bit romantic.”

Ben Kendall, who works for the Zermatt Bergbahnen cable car company, said people who had to leave were able to and the resort was “catering very well for the rest. We had another fresh dumping of snow today, so trains still aren’t running. Tourists cannot drive into Zermatt anyway.” Ski lifts should be open tomorrow, weather permitting, he said.

The access road to the car-free mountain village, which has a resident population of about 5,500, was closed on Monday morning because of the extreme avalanche risk and trains have been unable to reach the station since 5.30pm on Monday.

The avalanche risk around Zermatt and several other resorts in the south-western Valais region, including Saas-Fee, was raised to its maximum level of five on Monday night, the region’s president, Romy Biner-Hauser, said.

Biner-Hauser told the local newspaper Le Nouvelliste that some residents had been warned to keep their window shutters closed. The situation “is being monitored every half hour and if things change we will take the necessary measures”, he said.

A mild föhn wind has brought unseasonably high temperatures to lowland Switzerland, but areas above 1,400m altitude have seen well over a metre of snowfall in recent days, the Swiss broadcaster SRF said, with more forecast.

The Swiss federal institute for forest, snow and landscape research, WSL, warned on Monday night that fresh snowfall coming on top of quantities of old snow that had fallen over the Christmas and new year holiday period could provoke “numerous large and, in many cases, very large natural avalanches”.

It said such avalanches could reach “an exceptionally long way” and that exposed buildings and transport routes were endangered. “Extensive safety measures are to be maintained” particularly early in the day, it advised, although avalanche activity should decrease later.
