Instead of imagining dire global warming, many US citizens can step outside for a sharp dose of a different reality. “EVERY state in the US has an active NWS watch, warning, or advisory”. One to remember when summer heatwaves come around and UN-led warmist miserablism fires up again.

The mercury was plummeting across the US Midwest on Saturday as a biting winter storm left hundreds of thousands without power and threatened to disrupt the first key event in the 2024 presidential election campaign, says DW.com.
Over a quarter of a million people in Michigan and Wisconsin were left without power as freezing temperatures spread across the region, according to the PowerOutage.US website.
Winds and heavy snow also grounded planes at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport with some 7,600 flights delayed across the country.
States of emergency were declared from New York to Louisiana with the National Weather Service in St Louis warning of a “life-threatening” cold.
Extreme winter weather
“EVERY state in the US has an active NWS watch, warning, or advisory,” the National Weather Service said on Friday.
These ranged from the blizzards announced for Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, to avalanche warnings in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho, and from coastal flooding warnings in both the east and west, to winter storm warnings or winter weather advisories covering much of the rest of the country.
Authorities already announced the first cold-related death of the season after a man reportedly died following exposure in suburban Chicago.
The city is expecting several inches of snow, wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour) and wind chills as low as minus 15 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 26 Celsius). Such low temperatures can cause frostbite after just 15 minutes of exposure.

‘Intense’ US blizzard blows Iowa caucus campaigning off course
The storm will be followed by an “Arctic outbreak” of “bitter cold,” according to the NWS, which warned of “dangerously cold wind chill” falling as low as -45 degrees Fahrenheit (-43 Celsius) in Iowa and across the region over the weekend.
Another two or more inches of snow was also predicted for the state, for a total of up to 10 inches in some areas, creating whiteout conditions.
Dozens of cars and trucks were seen overturned in Des Moines, and the Iowa State Patrol said on social media they had performed 436 “motorist assists” Friday before 10:00 pm.

An “Arctic outbreak” of “bitter cold” from the place that’s ‘rapidly warming’ 🤔
outbreak” of “bitter cold” from the place that’s ‘rapidly warming’ Aye folks, THAT’S the key point to make & TELL the governing wannabees
They’re still hyping it up…
The Arctic, Earth’s icy crown, is experiencing a climate crisis like no other. It’s heating up at a furious pace—four times faster than the rest of our planet. Sandia researchers are pulling back the curtain on the reduction of sunlight reflectivity, or albedo, which is supercharging the Arctic’s warming.

Cold places will always warm up ‘faster’ than elsewhere, if warming is occurring. The equatorial regions can’t get much hotter, so more surplus heat is re-directed towards the poles. Doesn’t prove anything.
I just lovv these stupid comments from them: “a furious pace—four times faster than the rest of our planet.” Now are we talking about Degrees K or C ? Different scale means different things to different people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSZiqQeJu50
ONE or TWO degrees change from Abs Zero ( or around 280K ) is relatively nothing compared with 1 or 2 above or around 37C …. And Latent heat ??
But the common greenie on the street hasn’t a scoobie about these things .. Just Verbal cannon fodder .. Huh Is that the source of all the Methane – verbal diarrhoea ?
