JFK Shuts Down After Plane Skids Off "Ice Skating Rink" Runway: Entire Nation Blanketed In Subzero Deep Freeze

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: JFK has now reopened.

It's cold out there. Cold enough that JFK's runways are so frozen, airplanes literally are skidding off runways, which is what happened seconds ago to a Delta airplane landing at JFK.The result: JFK is now closed until further notice.

From NBC:

 

Officials announced that John F. Kennedy International Airport was closed Sunday morning because of inclement weather. The announcement came shortly after a plane that had landed at the airport skidded while exiting a runway.

 

A freezing rain advisory is in effect for much of the tri-state area.

 

The FAA said Delta Connection 4100, which originated in Toronto and was being flown by Endeavor Air, landed on runway 22 at the airport at 8 a.m. and slid into a snow bank as it was moving toward a taxiway. The plane was towed to the gate with passengers on board.

 

No injuries were reported, and the FAA is investigating.

It's not just the airports:

But that's just New York: elsewhere America is gripped in a cold spell which may beat all records, as 140 million Americans are expected to see subzero temperatures in the coming days, including the deep south.

As CNN reports, "The deep freeze gripping much of the country is about to send temperatures plummeting to unbelievable lows. Parts of the Midwest and Great Plains will plunge as low as 30 degrees below zero on Sunday. That's where the Green Bay Packers will host the San Francisco 49ers in what could be the coldest football game in NFL history. By Wednesday, nearly half the nation -- 140 million people -- will shudder in temperatures of zero or lower, forecasters said. Even the Deep South will endure single-digit or sub-zero temperatures."

What to expect around the country:

As if the 30-below-zero temperatures weren't frigid enough, the wind chill in much of Midwest and Great Plains could drop to minus 50, the National Weather Service said. And that's on top of the moderate to heavy snow possible over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley on Sunday.

 

"Brutal conditions will continue pushing southeastward to the Ohio Valley and Mid-South by Monday, and to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic by Tuesday," the weather agency said. "Afternoon highs on Monday for parts of the Midwest states and the Ohio Valley will fail to reach zero degrees."

But nobody will have it worse than some 70,000 Green Bay Packers fans who may see frigid conditions as bad as -40 with the wind chill:

More than 70,000 hardcore Packers fans hoping to see their team get
closer to the Super Bowl will have their loyalty tested Sunday as they
endure temperatures as low as 15-below-zero in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
With the wind, the air could feel as cold as minus-30 to minus-40
degrees to the sold-out crowd.

 

The Packers will give free hand warmers, hot chocolate and coffee to the fans braving the cold on Sunday, spokesman Aaron Popkey said.

 

In Embarrass, Minnesota, residents wondered whether they might see their record-cold temperature of 64 below zero, set in 1996, snap like an icicle.

 

"I've got a thermometer from the weather service that goes to 100 below," resident Roland Fowlei told CNN affiliate KQDS. "If it gets that cold, I don't want to be here."

Even the Deep South won't be spared:

The arctic blast threatens to sweep subzero lows as far south as Alabama and plunge much of the Deep South into the single digits.

 

To put things in perspective, the weather in Atlanta on Monday will be colder than in Anchorage, Alaska, CNN meteorologist Pedram Javaheri said.

 

Freezing rain is also possible along the Appalachians all the way up to New England over the next couple of days, the National Weather Service said.

 

The low temperatures and wind chill are a dangerous recipe for rapid frostbite or hypothermia.

 

"Exposed flesh can freeze in as little as five minutes with wind chills colder than 50 below," the National Weather Service's Twin Cities office in Minnesota said. Forecasters there warned of "the coldest air in two decades.

 

Over the past week, at least 13 people have died from weather-related conditions.

 

Eleven people died in road accidents -- including one man crushed as he was moving street salt with a forklift.

 

One man in Wisconsin died of hypothermia. And an elderly woman with Alzheimer's disease in New York state wandered away from her home and was found dead in the snow in a wooded area about 100 yards away.

Finally, those who can avoid to travel should do so:

The already dreadful stream of stranded passengers and canceled flights will only get worse.

 

FlightAware.com, which tracks cancellations due to both weather and mechanical problems, said more than 1,500 flights have been canceled for Sunday. That's after 4,500 flights were called off on Friday and Saturday.

 

In Chicago, a plane headed to Las Vegas slid off the taxiway at O'Hare International Airport on Saturday night. None of the passengers on Spirit Flight 245 were injured, an airlines spokeswoman said.

 

But with the Windy City inundated by snow, O'Hare will have more troubles Sunday. About 1,000 inbound or outbound flights have already been canceled, according to FlightAware.com.

And some photos from the frozen country:

"Parts of the Midwest and Great Plains will plunge as low as 30 degrees below zero on Sunday"

Yes, after the heavy chemtrailing on Jan 2 all over the mid-west, we all knew there was going to be two things happening like it happens every time they do the chemtrailing. We all knew there was going to be this man made weather distraction, and of course weaponized brucellosis sickness so big pharma and the medical mafia can profit from the already radioactive dying crew on the sad ship lolly-pop, earth.

The snow in these pictures above looks so fake, it is almost plastic like. We all see it too after they chemtrail out west. Watch how fast it all melts away. In some parts of the mid-west right now, it is sunny and hot in a few states away from all this drama for the idiot-news distractions. There has been no snow since December in most western parts, and the grass is still green in places. Geo-Engineering...go figure!

All we all are going to see from here on out is the ramping up of many more terrible weapons of mass distraction. THEY DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO REALIZE HOW BAD THE EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT IN JAPAN IS. The onslaught of this horrid weaponry will be horrendous as it is pointed and fired at the innocent peoples of the world. The most evil lamest stream propaganda state run socialist/communist/fascist/zionist pig media is the worst of all these killer murderous dangerous weapons of mass-destruction. What this entire institution has done to the world's people has been so sinful, so awful, so terrible, there is never ever going to be forgiveness for these propagandist piglets of the lying dying dinosaur media. These minion slave dogs of the junk-yard pits of black, along with the corrupted criminal political evil supposed leadership, all of them, will be hanged until dead for weeks for the treasonous cover-up actions and dis-mis-informing of the world's people.

A very real and totally very sad realization in the country of America is, that in the land of the supposed free press, one has to go to the Russian and other foreign media to get the real truth in world news. At this time in history, there is more truth news that comes from RT, than from all of the corrupted evil wicked horrible putrid slimy rothschild owned media put together. All of it is only govt baboonic relic puppets of the money-god babbling bullshirt and horse piss for the slave nation to consume. It is pure gargled slop, and ONLY that!

Some of these cretins like mccain and pig-faced pelosi and the rest of the trash-bags up there in Washington just make the average America sick to the stomach. So much so, that barfing their names only brings more pain and misery. How a nation can be so dammed stupid to keep electing this trash is beyond the thunderdome of belief. It is way beyond the twilight zone too. This distractionary horsewash that is spewed daily to DISTRACT EVERYONE FROM THE ELE IN FUKUSHIMA is insanity and cesspool slime corruption and criminality in the highest degree. Call it rancid poop!

What is sad is, these evil banksters that profit from death and destruction, along with their puppets that drink of the money-god tit, will all die too. The contamination in china and the entire east is worse than it is in japan. This horrid killer nasty stuff is hitting the entire North Western Continent. It is hitting everything west of fukushima also. The people from china are getting slammed from two sides with the highest concentrations of radiation from both fukushima, and Chernobyl. Have pity on a country full of people where the govt lies and will not tell them how fast they are all dying. Yes, in America, there is no truth in the media or govt anymore.

Got Geiger?

At least in MN -40 (Extra credit question C or F?) is NOT uncommon.

 

I used that as a data point in a "Introduction to Fortran" assignment...My very first Fortran Program.

 

The instructor thought my code had an error as he did not know that is where the two scales were equal.

 

I got a good laugh...at his expense.

An old farmer told me about Woolly Bears and their weather forecasting ability.

He got a good ribbing about this Thanksgiving day and he explained I need to "average it out" lol.

I spend a lot of time in the woods and have made it a habit to check their colors. Some are all black. Some are all brown. Moast are in between.

So, maybe the evidence of Woolly Bears' meteorological prowess is anecdotal, but they seem to be at least as accurate as the Weather Channel experts.

Still debating whether or not to drain the pipes tomorrow AM. They are not insulated with sub-zero weather in mind in the "Deep South".

Stay warm CD!

Let's remind the conservative crackheads that Al Gore's book states that global warming means all weather will become more severe. Remember, you don't have to understand how gravity works in order to be affected by gravity. If you're getting your science from Faux News and Rush Limbaugh, then you take your complaints to Faux News and Rush.

It doesn't matter what Al Gore's book says; you goddam cheese brained idiot. Al Gore doesn't know shit from shinola. He's a failed Federal Politician, AKA, professional Lier, who is NOT A SCIENTIST. He dropped out of Religious School. He literally knows less than you do; which is nothing.He has a Messianic Complex; he needs some kind of message to massage the masses with so he can get up and preach at them; so he can be Daddy Gore and explain it all to you little people. There are people in this world who understand this question; and the answer is NO! No global warming; which does not, and never did, and can never, mean anykind of cooling. You fucking Moron.

I normally don't double-post, but here is the average global temperature over the past 100 years:

https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/faq/how-much-has-global-temperature-risen-last-100-years

"Global warming" consisted of a 0.6 degree C rise in temperature over about a 30 year period from 1970-2000. It has since leveled out.

past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

 

Global average temperatures will rise at least 4°C by 2100 and potentially more than 8°C by 2200 if carbon dioxide emissions are not reduced according to new research published in Nature. Scientists found global climate is more sensitive to carbon dioxide than most previous estimates.

Leading one to conclude that there was less ice then, at the same time of year, than there is now.

an inconvient lie, told often enough becomes truth: except this printed in a Physics peer reviewed publication:

  The IPCC’s 2007 climate summary overstated CO2’s impact on temperature by 500-2000%;
?    CO2 enrichment will add little more than 1 °F (0.6 °C) to global mean surface temperature by 2100;
?    Not one of the three key variables whose product is climate sensitivity can be measured directly;
?    The IPCC’s values for these key variables are taken from only four published papers, not 2,500;
?    The IPCC’s values for each of the three variables, and hence for climate sensitivity, are overstated;
?    “Global warming” halted ten years ago, and surface temperature has been falling for seven years;
?    Not one of the computer models relied upon by the IPCC predicted so long and rapid a cooling;
?    The IPCC inserted a table into the scientists’ draft, overstating the effect of ice-melt by 1000%;
?    It was proved 50 years ago that predicting climate more than two weeks ahead is impossible;
?    Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth warmed;
?    In the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years.

Personally I'm kinda routing for global warming. Too many fucking people already seems the left won't say what's really on their minds and the right will get way to much flack for saying what they truly believe. If anyone thinks 4 billion Chinese and or Indians are going to be good for "global growth" you're higher than Tommy Ching. Another thing I like telling all my rich tree hugging friends, quit saying save the planet. It will be just fine, will ebb and flow (it has a way of healing itself) until the sun eats it in 4 billion years give or take. If you want to save humanity (which as I've said before I'm not sure they really want to), plant more trees.

Sounds like you've fallen into a couple MSM traps.  I am rooting for global warming too.  I do this though because life thrives in warmer environments.  We should all want a warmer planet.  If you've become so disenchanted with the species you'd want global cooling.  Stop thinking in terms of red/blue left/right.  They are all the same and to think differently is to have been divided on false dichotomy to better conquer you.

You also have a disconnect with nature.  Is an ant hill damaging the earth?  Do you hope the earth will heal itself from all the tree roots pushing it around?  We are the planet.  Whatever state we get to is the planet... there can be no 'damage' to save.  The worse we will do is make areas less fit for ourselves, and we may be right to worry about ourselves... but to look at the planet as an entity that needs protection from ourselves is ludicrous.

Global warming is real, irrespective of any relationship to environmental destruction by mankind.

The shrinking Arctic ice cap will cause changes in the air flow patterns, including winter patterns. A frigid Arctic air mass moving over the US is consistent with Global warming and hardly disproves it.

Michel Jarraud, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, “All of the warmest years have been since 1998, and this year once again continues the underlying, long-term trend. The coldest years now are warmer than the hottest years before 1998.”
“This year is likely to be among the top 10 warmest on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization,” Roger Harrabi (environment analyst), 2013 ‘One of Warmest’ on Record, BBC News, Nov. 13, 2013.

The Land-Ocean Temperature Index (LOTI) published by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) shows that November 2013 was the hottest since record keeping began in 1880 despite strong La Nina conditions, which tend to hold temperatures down .
Almost all regions of the globe showed temperatures hotter than average with two exceptions: (1) West Antarctica and (2) central and eastern North America.
Source: Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index//data.giss.nasa.gov: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v3/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt

“Averaging the globe as a whole, the temperature across the land and ocean surfaces combined during October 2013 was 1.13 degrees F above the 1901-2000 average… [the] 344th consecutive month with global temperature above the 20th century average… "
(Source: Global Analysis – October 2013, National Climatic Data Center – National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)

---------
Environmental problems such as destruction of rivers, fisheries, underground aquifers, and rainforests are real. Expanding population and consumerism also affect the environment, as does warfare and refugee migration.
 Mankind’s steady destruction of the planet, other species, and of himself needs to be halted, regardless of global warming, and regardless whether man is causing that warming.
