It's cold as #### all over the country.. (1 Viewer)

It sucks, right? Only going to hit a high of 70 degrees here today. And it's drizzling. It's ####### drizzling!

 
Actually not quite all over the country.

In fact, Alaska has been 40 degrees above normal and is shattering high-temperature records.

Not surprisingly, the cold in the Lower 48 and the warmth in the Arctic are related. An enormous storm in the Bering Sea last week brought massive amounts of warmth to Alaska, creating an enormous ridge. All that warm air moving in meant the cold air had to be forced somewhere else. And that's where all this frigid air has come from.

Just to be clear about something, 40 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in Alaska this time of year is still below freezing in much of the state. It's remains quite cold up there so don't expect the polar bears to be floating away anytime soon.

 
Yeah I had to wear a light sweater while golfing this past weekend. ####### arizona winters.

Much harder to find polar bears these days anyway.

Interesting. This zoologist notes that the global population has actually increased since 2001. Could it be that there's a local reduction in sea ice in one region and increases in others, you know, kind of like the difference between local weather and overall climate environmentalists are so fond of referencing?

You beat me to it. :hifive:

 
"Watching the deniers?" Absolutely hilarious. Environmentalism has taken on persecutory religious overtones on the same order of the anti-geocentrism watchers of 500 years ago.

I referenced her site as a zoologist regarding polar bears, not as a climatologist. The web page I linked to doesn't even discuss weather or climate. The conjectures I made are my own. Which part of the data she presents regarding polar bear populations do you dispute?

 
Good to know that until Alaskan winters reach 70 degrees, there's no need to worry about this whole global warming scare.

its almost as if global warming causes extreme temps on both ends of the spectrum as science has said all along.

And a lot of hurricanes and no hurricanes. And stronger storms and weaker storms. And more floods and more drought. Hard to be wrong if you predict that everything is possible. :shrug:

Saying it will be extremely cold during the cold season and warmer in the hot season is not mutually exclusive like the hyperbole you gave as examples. .

I didn't give hyperbole. But then again, you probably know more about the weather than me.

Cold flight?

 
Temperatures are either going up, going down, or staying the same. Precipitation is either going up, going down, or staying the same.

Pay attention people. Scary stuff here.

Um.. It's 14 degrees in Fairbanks right now. Are you saying the average temp this time of year is -26 below zero..? Wrong.

Yeah, it's icy here!

 
Been 0 to 15 for five days. Records lows in Boise after 8-10 inches of snow last Thursday.

Most in one day my 52 months here.

Oh right, like the layer of winter fat your massage therapist rubs for you isn't enough,

Further explaining just how cold it is here in Arizona. 65 with some wind is just unconscionable.
