84% Of America Is Freezing This Morning, "No Relief In Sight"

Schools in Chicago, Boston and other large cities closed on Thursday as sub-zero temperatures and bitter winds gripped central and eastern United States for a third day and, as Reuters reports, meteorologists warned there was little relief in sight. A stunning 83.8% of America was freezing this morning (and 12.9% below zero) as an Arctic air blast from Canada hit the U.S. Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with many parts around minus 10 Fahrenheit (minus 23 Celsius), the National Weather Service said.

 

83.8% of the US is freezing...

 

And Chicago is freezing over...

 

As Reuters reports,

"While it looks like the high pressure responsible for the cold will last another day or two and then move to the east, another shot of cold air will be coming into the north-central states toward the weekend," National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Broyles said.

 

The service said frostbite could set in with just 15 minutes' exposure to the frigid air and advised people to keep pets indoors. Driving could be treacherous in areas hit with blowing snow and icy roadways, it added.

 

Chicago Public Schools, the third-largest U.S. school district with 400,000 students and almost 800 institutions, told students to stay home and indoors as temperatures dropped to between 20F and 30F below average.

 

Schools were also closed in Boston, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis.

 

...

 

The weather service issued wind chill alerts for Chicago, Minneapolis, and other cities. Overnight wind chill values in most areas reached minus 15F to minus 25F.

 

...

 

"It makes the conditions extremely hazardous to travel," Broyles said.

 

Temperatures also plummeted to an uncharacteristic 10F to 15F across the Gulf Coast overnight, where a hard freeze warning was issued for east Texas across parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and southern Georgia, Broyles said.

Northern IN it was -8 overnight and +4 now. It's January.  If you're cold put on some more clothes. Or else snuggle-up to a hot fatgirl. Now where did I hang my coveralls?

How about some accountability? This shit isn't working. I'm ready for a full-fledged dictatorship. Let's set up some rules: if you publicly advocated 'climate' policy changes so you or your party can profit, or just so you can feel good about yourself, you should not be allowed to purchase property in America below the Mason/Dixon line. If these people are not brought under control they're going to take it all down.

It will take ten years of winters like this to shake their belief in their own psychopathy.

Y'all bitchez knew that Global Cooling is a symptom of Global Warming, right? Good. Now get your wallets out and donate some money to The Climate Reality Project, it's tax deductible and shit.

I am in awe, have not seen any posts from the lunatics blaming the cold on jews, zionists, bankers, CEOs, wealthy, etc.

Is it possible that these stereotyped scapegoats are not responsible for every problem ????

The cold weather is an oil industry plot to "cover up" global warming.
