Stunning Images Of The "Siberian Express" FreezeNado

Tyler Durden's picture




 

More than 100 million Americans are set to be impacted by the arctic blast known as the "Siberian Express" as record (low) temperatures are being broken across the eastern third of the nation. NBC News reports, Chicago is experiencing its coldest February since 1875 with roads in an "ice skating rink-like condition." From ice geysers to snow-golf and frozen falls, we can only imagine the breath-taking impact this 'polar-vortex'-esque weather will have on US GDP...

 

 

The coldest outbreak of the season is pushing south into the eastern United States this week. Temperatures will be running as low as 30 to 40 degrees below normal across the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic on Friday morning. Thursday night’s departure from normal temperatures is shown above in Celsius.

 

Windchill warnings across a third of the nation...

 

And the forecast for tomorrow is even lower...

A perfectly rolled roof...

 

With daggers hanging from the eves...

 

Machines hard at work...

 

But people are going nowehere...

 

Chickens not happy...

 

Nor are cats...

 

Snow Golf anyone?

 

An Ice Geyser!!

 

And Niagara Falls has frozen!!

 

*  *  *

And while this makes life more difficult for many - as beautiful as it is in some cases - the last time this happened, US GDP crashed 5%..

It was about a year ago today, when economist consensus, ever true to its "momentum extrapolation" ways, predicted that in the first quarter of 2014 US GDP would grow by a solid 2.2% (down from 2.9% predicted several months previously). This happened even as the very economists forecasting the GDP number allegedly had problems getting to and from work, due to all the snow and cold weather. Yes, in the middle of winter: truly unheard of.

The rest was history: a few months later when the final calculation of annualized Q1 GDP was released on June 25, the BEA reported that it had crashed by a whopping 2.9%: a delta of more than 5%!

 

And since nobody had predicted such an epic collapse in the US economy, an excuse was promptly cobbled together: the weather, and specifically, the "polar vortex" of January and early February, that was raging at the time when those calculating the impact of the weather on GDP only saw it subtracting a few basis points of growth.

I can see Alaska off the beach on a sunny day. Today was sunny; about 50F.  So freeze away you folks as I watch the beaches erode with rising sea levels.  Think it took about 20 feet this year.  Nope no warming here,

But here is an amateur observation.  The sand dunes that I see being eroded back are revealing logs and ancient old trees that were stabilizing under the dunes.  Every yard of dune that is eroding is revealing old logs that ???? ago rolled in with the tides and had sand cover, and became the dunes.

Taking many photos.

I climbed Mt Rainier a few years back. Guy asked me to take his pic at the summit. It was his hundredth summit, he was there the day that serac fell and killed a bunch of people in the 80s. He said the muir snowfield was at least 100 yards further than it was in the 80s. This winter may be weak out west but last winter here in WV was the worst winter since 77 and this little snap is setting records too.

Lake Michigan froze over complely last year. It makes for a bitch of a summer. I didn't think it would happen this year as December and January were no where near what they were last year. Shit, I want to enjoy the beach this year!

Lake Superior had you walking out quite a ways if you wanted to fish last year, haven't seen it this year. You had to love ice fishing to drill through that shit. Looks like it will freeze over completely this year, too.

Latest spin is that the COOLING is caused by the WARMING. Who knew?  I'm attempting to reproduce the effect on my stove.

The trouble with this kind of reality check is that it doesn't wake up the flip-flopping leaf-eating Left-Coasters who are the most devoted, outspoken worshippers at the altar of the Global Warming Industrial Complex. I was talking yesterday with an attractive but dippy fake-blonde student of Environmental Science who launched into a tirade about the outrageously mild weather caused by rampant Global Warming:  SHE HAD NO IDEA THAT THE REST OF THE CONTINENT IS IN A RECORD-BREAKING DEEP FREEZE.  "REALLY?!?"

To keep things in perspective Anchorage Alaska just had its first year without droping into negative temps...ever.

I just went camping up in the Cascades 2 weeks ago. No snow anywhere except the highest peaks, 65 to 70 degrees, had lunch at the summit people were wearing shorts and flip flops. Owner of the diner said he never saw it so dry or warm and he is second generation owner.

Sorry, but i've seen too many comments about 'Global warming' and the fact we are having a cold winter.

Global warming doesn't mean everywhere on the planet gets hotter.  What it does mean is that there will be higher spikes in the weather...More rain in some places, more draught in others....and storms will be more violent.

 

Please stop equating a coldwinter as a refutation of global warming ....the facts are known and agreed to by 99% of honest scientists.

Well, what it does mean is that data is falsified for political purposes (yet another known fact). FTFY!

Also, I just love how you equate consensus posturing with science. Especially since an HONEST scientist would never fall for such pressure from the status quo. Yet it's so bad that 99% now do?

I guess I'm the only one old enough to remember when skepticism was a hallmark of the scientific method.

Dear Gullible Buffoon aka BreadOnwaters,

 

It seems that you are too stupid to know what global and warming mean.

Global = ALL OVER THE ENTIRE PLANET....i.e.  EVERYWHERE

Warming = Rising temperatures

So tell me how record cold temperatures are even possible if it's getting warmer everywhere.

And everyone knows climate (THE WEATHER CONDITIONS) changes...I bet you are too dumb to know climate and weather are synonyms. Do you even  know what a synonym is.

Some will never understand - mostly those that refuse to even try. If you really want to know "how record cold temperatures are even possible if it's getting warmer everywhere", you could attempt to find out by asking and then listening/reading for an answer. You may even recognize that your statement is not correct. 

It's not actually getting warmer everywhere (at the same time). That's not a true statement, and that's not what global warming implies. It does imply that the average temperature across the entire planet is going up over time. Again, on average. It says nothing about the weather in any given location at any given time. Last year was the warmest on record, on average. There were record high temperatures set in some locations, and record low temperatures in others. 

While global warming does not imply anything other than rising temperatures, one consequence is more erratic weather. There are many other consequences, one of which is record cold in one area of the globe at the same time as record heat in another area. 

Climate and weather are not synonyms

climate |?kl?mitnounthe weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period: our cold, wet climate | agricultural development is constrained by climate.

weather |?weT?H?rnounthe state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.: if the weather's good, we can go for a walk.

Or maybe you were being sarcastic the whole time. Hard to tell.

Your first point is good but you are hardly one to question other people's intelligence.    weather and climate are not synonymous.  Weather is short term, climate is long term.    A freeze in Florida doesn't mean it has a polar climate, and 95 degrees with thunderstorms doesn't make Arizona tropical.   here is the google page for kids so you can understand it --  https://sites.google.com/site/climatetypes/home

IT sucks balls in hell. Bizarro weather inside the matrix.

Not fit for man nor beast!

Into my second blast of "holy fuck!"  A bird tried to come thru my doorwall several times. Sure interested my cat. Then it flew in my garage and is probably frozen stiff, somewhere.

So it is fact that they chemtrail for geoengineering for climate control or manipulation.  Are they fucked up doing it or is there something else in the mix we are not told about?

Yours truly,

TM, I have a birth certificate that says I was born in Canada to a Canadian Father and American mother. I grew up thinking that meant I could never be President, since I am not a "Natural Born Citizen." 

When I brought up Obama's NBC issue amongst friends, I was shouted down as a racist.

It still hurts to think about my brother calling me a racist.

You do realize that CLIMATE and WEATHER are two separate things, right? Kind of like conservatives and intellectuals.

If you'd step away from your echo chamber for two seconds, you'd easily find out that this winter has actually been one of the warmest on record here in the US. The sixth-warmest, in fact.

Is that with real temperature readings or "adjusted" ones like they use to go back and extrapolate warming trends in areas that don't have monitoring?

The adjustments are utterly astounding.

Not only that... they NEVER provide/publish the methodologies and codes used to justify the adjustments just their adjusted results. It is considered to be PROPRIETARY information.

"Burton’s key point is this: where Cowtan claims that all NOAA’s adjustments have done is increased warming by a modest 3 per cent, in actuality they have increased it by 35 per cent. So, far from Cowtan’s assessment that these adjustments are “inconsequentially tiny”, they are in fact quite massively distorting."

Clearly a learned and well read person like yourself has read that NOAA and two other US government agencies have manipulated the RAW temperature data to hide the facts. Fortunately, less trusting individuals kept records of the original data. The data was modified to make our current temperatures look much warmer than the 1930's.  You can fact check that.

I'm not saying that the planet isn't warming or cooling, or who knows what.... but thats the whole point, we only have semi-accurate temperature data for not even 100 years, for a planet that is several billion years old! New York harbor was said to have consistently frozen in the 15th century, we didn't even have an industrial revolution with massive carbon emmissions until the 1800's.

how can we say "the debate is over" and humans are causing it, that goes against the scientific method

I checked your link, it's only for two months, December & January. Climatological Winter includes February, so the data is incomplete. Let's review it in March, using the full three months data.

I also went back to look at October & November, and it was exactly normal for the USA, so you can see how just two months can fluctuate dramatically. The time period seleted is just too short to prove anything.
