Dangerous Arctic Blast GRIPS US — 5 Dead, 50+ Vehicle Pile Up, Record-breaking Temps And MORE...

This super cold cannot be happening!
The Democrat party constantly professes that climate change is making the the weather much warmer. How can this freezing weather happen? We all know that the Democrat party NEVER LIES or DECEIVES.

Global warming leads to greater extreme in temperatures and all sorts of craziness with weather patterns. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/13/waves-in-st-marks-square-as-venice-flooded-highest-tide-in-50-years

It's not just Democrats, you're pretty much in the 1% idiocrocy if you still think global warming doesn't exist.

@skytop The refutation of Global Warming--to idiot Lefties--is proof of Global Warming because the science of it does not matter. It is their secular religion of hatred and they will defend it all while yelling "Paula Abdul Akbar" into battle.

Mitt Romney is a Republic right? I think he even ran for president before.

Forget the calendar date and look at the Jetstream instead. If it runs high across North America, it will be warm, if it runs low across it, it will be cold.

What? You shouldn't be eating meat at all. Better to eat fake meat which is processed and has enough salt in one portion to meet your weekly salt allowance.

I forgot about the low level of intelligence on Autospies... Here you go.

Jet Streams

Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth.[1] On Earth, the main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause and are westerly winds (flowing west to east). Their paths typically have a meandering shape. Jet streams may start, stop, split into two or more parts, combine into one stream, or flow in various directions including opposite to the direction of the remainder of the jet.

The strongest jet streams are the polar jets, at 9–12 km (30,000–39,000 ft) above sea level, and the higher altitude and somewhat weaker subtropical jets at 10–16 km (33,000–52,000 ft). The Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere each have a polar jet and a subtropical jet. The northern hemisphere polar jet flows over the middle to northern latitudes of North America, Europe, and Asia and their intervening oceans, while the southern hemisphere polar jet mostly circles Antarctica all year round.

Jet streams are the product of two factors: the atmospheric heating by solar radiation that produces the large-scale Polar, Ferrel, and Hadley circulation cells, and the action of the Coriolis force acting on those moving masses. The Coriolis force is caused by the planet's rotation on its axis. On other planets, internal heat rather than solar heating drives their jet streams. The Polar jet stream forms near the interface of the Polar and Ferrel circulation cells; the subtropical jet forms near the boundary of the Ferrel and Hadley circulation cells.[2]

Other jet streams also exist. During the Northern Hemisphere summer, easterly jets can form in tropical regions, typically where dry air encounters more humid air at high altitudes. Low-level jets also are typical of various regions such as the central United States. There are also jet streams in the thermosphere.

Meteorologists use the location of some of the jet streams as an aid in weather forecasting. The main commercial relevance of the jet streams is in air travel, as flight time can be dramatically affected by either flying with the flow or against, which results in significant fuel and time cost savings for airlines. Often, the airlines work to fly 'with' the jet stream for this reason. Dynamic North Atlantic Tracks are one example of how airlines and air traffic control work together to accommodate the jet stream and winds aloft that results in the maximum benefit for airlines and other users. Clear-air turbulence, a potential hazard to aircraft passenger safety, is often found in a jet stream's vicinity, but it does not create a substantial alteration on flight times.

@Vett71 - You are spot on about the salt content in meatless burgers et-al. People really need to read the labels. A lot of health food is not really all that good for you.

@80ho -

You can keep repeating things (like the President) but it still does not make them true.

-I don't bash people for their car choices, just for being stupid
-I don't have a small dog, my pup is 85lbs
-I don't use my truck for just me, sometimes it is full of people and packed
-I don't drive much because I work from home and ride the train downtown to see clients.


Think before you post and always focus on facts versus opinion.

But Obama Bin Barack isn't President anymore.

Hey hypocrite, practice what you preach: "Think before you post and always focus on facts versus opinion."

@MD There you go bashing people again (and again) and tomorrow you will claim to be the Saint of this site. Just relax.

Oh Felicia, don't play the victim. And spare me the Taylor Swift sentiments. You bash people here for their ideas FAR MORE than i could ever hope to. You are an intolerant, Leftie hypocrite bigot and like your ilk you espouse viewpoints that you don't practice (EV ownership is just one of many) and when you're taken to task you play the victim or explain why the morals you profess for others do not apply to you.
