Yo,the South is gonna freeze their effin' asses off. They ain't prepared for this kind of cold.

We had some kind of gigantic freezing wind blowing semis over, ripping roofing off sheds and uprooting trees in CA. You guys can make it.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

To the inevitable "its cold, no global warming"

 

[grandjedi6]

Just gonna quote this for people

Nevermind, OP is Trump's Minister of Misinformation.

Sorry guis, fixed the OP.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Actual lows. Doesn't look very different from a standard winter, at least in the NE.

Goddamnit, here I was hoping for a potential snow event in New Orleans. It's been almost a decade, I figure we're due.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Already got dumped with tons of snow in Manitoba and it's reliably in the mid -10's.

Feels good to have your first winter in the Prairies be utter hell.

 

[Krakatoa]

Brace yourself Florida here comes the snowbirds

 

[mackattk]

Holy shit at -46. Is it weird that I want to know how that feels?

It isn't -46 degrees, it is minus 46 from normal temperature. So if the temperature is usually 100 degrees, it is now 54 degrees.

 

[Pomerlaw]

"But if Global Warming is a thing, why is it so much colder than yesterday?"

Exactly. ARghhhh

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Nodak seems to be around average temperatures. Only thing that sucks about this is that I move all my furniture out of my apartment in the 16th into a big trailer. That will be fun.

 

[zeemumu]

"But if Global Warming is a thing, why is it so much colder than yesterday?"

It's what happens when you aren't able to perceive this stuff on a macro scale.

 

[Haly]

I kind of resent this because itll just add fuel to the "climate change is a hoax" fire.

 

[Goro Majima]

Seeing the actual temperatures...

Just looks like winter lows are about a month early?

 

[clav]

OP misread the article as the thread's title is still wrong.

Clickbait.

Sorry guis, fixed the OP.

You read it wrong. "Temps in -30s." Fix that.

Yes, it'll be cold, and I expect a SoCal GAF thread, "LA GAF, are you OK? There's's a blizzard outside."

 

[oreomunsta]

Reporting in from the deep purple: IT'S FUCKING COLD :[

 

[Guevara]

Trump, outside, with reporters, freezing in NYC, will use the opportunity to talk about the Chinese "scam" global warming.

 

[RustyNails]

You read it wrong. "Temps in -30s." Fix that.

A large area from the Great Lakes through the Dakotas and into Wyoming and Montana are predicted to have low temperatures well below zero with even colder wind chills — as low as minus-30 to minus-40 degrees.

?

 

[clav]

?

OK I didn't read that.

Derp.

Your initial picture gave knee jerk reactions though as people thought it was going to be -30 in Chicago.

55 is actually pretty much where we've been at for a minute. You missed the thread last week where cold winds were blowing trees and semis over on freeways in SoCal but that week aside it's been pretty regular weather.

e: Stop quoting me: I realized my mistake before most of you pointed it out. See the other posts ITT.

Super cold weather is a very weird feeling. Your breath out freezes, breathing in catches in your throat, and everything hurts.

I was working outside last year during a brutal cold snap for a job in Ohio doing a bunch of soil testing for work. When you're sampling soil (or anything really) you have to switch pairs of gloves between each sample to avoid contamination and about the third time I took my gloves off to put a new pair on, my skin just split along one of the creases on my thumb joint and blood started pouring. It didn't fully heal for like a month. It was nuts.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

By all means, send cold air to us here in Charlotte. This mild autumn has been infuriating.

But with the air, please also send snow. Lots and lots of snow. Otherwise, what's the use.

 

[wild wild rice]

PERFECT

 

[Mortemis]

Does that say 21F for Seattle. Mother fuckers, fuck the cold.

And there probably won't be a single inch of snow with it too. Dammit.

But you have to dramatize to participate in a social circle like that person at parties who doesn't understand hardship.

LA has to find itself relevant despite areas that have worse weather.

"Now bear my arctic blast!"

The last few years up here (massachusetts) we didn't really get any snow until January. So yeah, it's about a month early.

 

[Loxley]

Just in time for my birthday XD

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

"Well. Whatever happened to global warming, eh?"

 

[Ganhyun]

As much as we are never prepared for it, I want a good snow storm in the Atlanta metro area so I can work from home for a few days.

 

[Liljagare]

As mean temps go up, we will see more of this happening in winter, kinda cool how global warming also means worse winter weather.

 

[Rainy]

Leaving Philly to go back to California on the 16th, but looks like I'll catch some of these low temps. I don't mind.

 

[RBH]

Alright started for us today here in Northeast Ohio. High of 29 today and currently snowing.


I FUCKING LOVE THIS. Summer and fall were too fucking hot. I worship the snow and cold weather. Maximum comfy weather.

You deserve the Browns.

 

[NastyBook]

Behold! Arctic Blast!!

 

[JaggedSac]

This tickled me:

dispensing some of the most frigid air since 2014 or 2015 in some areas.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Please Randolph


I haven't bought nearly enough milk and bread for all that.

All things being equal we genuinely have had awful weather, working in agriculture proves it enough. Check back two years to a gigantic freak cold snap that killed off a third of the citrus product out here and last year a giant heat wave that burned shit on the vine mid autumn. We've been more or less steady this year but it's been pretty fucking wacky in what's supposed to be a steady climate. Shitsux for job security for me personally. Saying climate change is a hoax to some farmers out here, you might as well get ready to throw down.

 

[R-User!]

If global warming is real, why we still got arctic blasts?

Sup Steve!

 

[Kayhan]

Putin y u do this?

 

[R-User!]

Behold! Arctic Blast!!

I'll see your line and raise you an

"ARCTIC ATTACK!"

*plinkplinkplinkplinkplinkplinkplinkplink*

"ICE BEAM!"

HEADING TO THE STORE, THEY'RE CALLING FOR FLURRIES

 

[Obscura]

Please give me snow in Georgia.

So depressing to drive through central CA.

Yeah weather does suck for plants involved although we should stop growing water heavy plants here. Profitability shouldn't prioritize over sustainability.

Seems the farmers are immune to drought practices as they are constantly watering.

 

[Baron Aloha]

This sucks. Trump needs to build a wall along our northern border to keep these vortexes out.

 

[Meatfist]

fuuuuUUUCK I'm landing in Chicago on the 14th, I'm from Central California so 40 is cold to me

 

[Thursday War]

I'll take it

 

[maquiladora]

Goddamnit, here I was hoping for a potential snow event in New Orleans. It's been almost a decade, I figure we're due.

 

[jfkgoblue]

In NW Ohio.

God fucking dammit below zero always fucking sucks, the heating costs alone make it shit.


And it's supposed to snow all week leading up to this which means the roads are gonna be shit cuz they can't salt them in extreme cold.

 

[Dishwalla]

Flying to Boise for Christmas on Wednesday, man I'm going to freeze.

edit: it's 50 degrees right now in Norfolk, but 21 degrees in Boise. Shit.

 

[InfiniteBento]

-34 here in Chicago?!? NOOOOOOO
