Brutal arctic blast blanketing much of the US is set to deliver record-breaking low temperatures as the South braces for snow
A brutal and prolonged arctic blast bringing heavy snow, wind and ice across much of the US is threatening record-breaking low temperatures and dangerous morning commutes as another storm takes aim at the South. Here’s the latest:
Then back up to mid 20s Celsius in a couple of days. Mad.
I wish the temp would get to the mid 20s c near me. It's been in the negatives Frankenstein for almost a week straight, barely peaking into the positive single digits. And we won't get above freezing until maybe Wednesday.
It's chilly in January - Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana beg for federal money. Texas may or may not turn into a pumpkin.
Been absolutely fucking freezing in small town nebraska over here, got to around -35 the other day, we have snow drifts up to 10 feet high on some backroads too. crazy stuff
I'm glad I don't live in the free state of Texas! I like LIVING instead!
Ya, outside Cincinnati the forecast only has us making it to 32°f as the HI on Thursday. quite a few low's in the single digits (was 3.6°f this morning) all week.
Our HVAC is working overtime since Saturday, and appears it's going to be an expensive electricity month.
Makes me kinda glad my heat pump crapped out last month. Now I've got a more efficient one and half a cord of wood for my wood stove.
I've been living in -45°C for the last week and a half...
Temps are relative to the local variation, so somewhere that has regular negative temps each winter will be a completely different experience than a place where it rarely dips below freezing. The massive amount of accidents that southern states have during the rare snows is because most people there have no experience driving in snow, a large portion might not even have all weather tires, and they don't have any infrastructure for clearing and treating roads.
The same goes for temps. When people don't have experience with very cold weather, where infrastructure not made to handle the temps is used by people who have no backup plans and often make terrible decisions when the infrastructure fail because it happens so rarely.
Yep
