Norway Spiral Impact on Northern Hemisphere Deep Freeze

In any event, Sorcha Faal articles need to be read with a healthy dose of salt. They tend to state some facts and then jump to incongruent conclusions, sirring up some fear in the process. More entertainment than real news. IMO

Is it the first time in the last, let's say 10-15 years, that we have such winter?
No!!

I'm in Florida, and we have a possibility of snow in the weekend forecast. I've lived in Florida for 17 years and have never heard snow in the forecast before this. At least not for my area, which is Orlando.

From what I remember there is about such much snow as I remember there being around when I was a kid. As I kept getting older less and less snow for shorter times came about until now that it seems things have returned to the normal or a bit more snow than normal though on a second thought. I remember these amounts of snow when I was 8-10 years old in those winters.

Hmmm. They just said on th weather channel that this is could be the coldest

winter in 20 years. So I have this to say to the people who think the earth is

gonna melt. . glad to get that out lol

There used to be more severe winters back in the 60-ties and 70-ties of the last century....at least in my part of the world....they are predicting lots of snow(in fact it has been snowing for several hours now and more to come in the next two days), temperatures are going to drop to -20C at night in the mountains, but it is sooo perfectly normal here...

I'm in LA so I can't say...although my parents in Oklahoma say over Christmas they had the worst winter storm they've ever seen. My Dad's been there 75yrs.

the weather has been this bad in the past but not usually so far south...its normally restricted to the highlands of scotland and regions geographically similar...
the uk makes me laugh tho...summers too hot?...roads melt, people melt, nothing works, influx of beach activity....
winters too cold?...roads ice over, gritters run out, people freeze, nothing works...
its a lose lose situation on a emotionally driven fear racing scenario and unless the eco system is perfect we are all in trouble!... if anything nature is in the wrong, again! rant over

when will people in supposed voice power start to address meaningful issues that relate directly and proportionally to people....

This last November in Canada was a very cold one. At that time the jet stream was in advance on its schedule and was lower into Canada(not sure how it was on the other side of the globe at that point).
This was big news as it had not happened before as far as I know.
Now it seems that it might have split up in two, one part going way low causing all the cold up to Florida and the other part lower than usual causing this global freeze.

I would go for that explanation more so than the Norway spiral.
We are really at the mercy of this jet stream, if it does not come back to normal, we might have to get used to present situation and possibly worst, who knows.

Big hello to you Northern Sanctuary, I hope your project is going great....

Here's an "interesting" weather statistic. It's colder in the US now than the North and South Pole.

Think Antarctica Is Cold? Try America
By Jeremy Kaplan - FOXNews.com
Inhospitable, barren, and covered in snow and ice year round, the North and South Pole epitomize frigid conditions. Yet it's currently colder across the United States than at both.

A fire hydrant pokes out from the snow in Kirksville, Mo. on Thursday Jan. 7, 2010 after an overnight storm.

Inhospitable, barren, and covered in snow and ice year round, the North and South Pole epitomize frigid conditions. Yet it's currently colder across the United States than at both poles.

The South Pole is the coldest place on Earth -- just take a look at the most recent images from the webcam at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, which captures a new picture of those freezing conditions every 15 minutes. But at present, it's merely -12 Fahrenheit.

The North Pole is normally significantly warmer than the South, but it's a chilly -17 up there right now, a temperature that must sound positively Caribbean to anyone living in, say, Bismark, North Dakota (-33 Fahrenheit at present).

Wind chills across the United States are bringing our sub-freezing temperatures as low as 50 degrees below zero, making large swaths of the country substantially colder than either pole.

It's colder from Dallas to Denver than it is at the South pole. North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa are recording temps ranging from 5 down to -18; With the wind chill, it feels -17 F in Topeka, Kansas. Even Memphis sits at 10 degrees, and around 0 with the wind chill. Temps at Sun Studios shouldn't feel like the South Pole.

The National Weather Service continually monitors weather conditions at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, where it's currently -7 Fahrenheit. The mean temperature last year at Antarctica's South Pole was -54 Fahrenheit. The highest temperature ever recorded at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station was 7.5 F on Dec. 27, 1978, while the lowest was −117 F on Jun. 23, 1982. Brrr!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration operates a North Pole webcam, deployed on an ice floe at the Pole. NOAA shuts down the cam over the winter due to the winter darkness, which lasts from October to March. In the dark of winter today, it's currently -17.

Brace yourself for a cold and blustery winter here at home ... or maybe pay a visit to balmy Antarctica.
