It’s suppose to be 70 degrees in Charleston, West Virginia this Saturday and Sunday, we might break a record. The Russians can keep their -50 degrees....
You don’t really have to go to Siberia to get minus 50 degress celsius. Mostly if you’re flying at >41,000 feet the temperature goes lower than that that you better be sure your anti ice working. :-)
Warmish here in Southern Michigan but nothing like last winter and a January warm spell is nothing unusual.
Soon the upper US States will experience similar conditions as that huge mass of super cold air moves down from the Arctic ocean.
-50C is -58F. We used to do that in the Dakotas and sometimes Maine. I’m pretty sure SAC thought the bombers needed the cold to run properly. Too bad they don’t have LL Bean in Siberia.

Not just the upper US, we’re looking at hard freezes for a week in Tucson. Nasty nasty weather coming down on us.
Supposedly 42 degrees here.
The past summer itself was rather cool, we rarely got above 80.
Yet it’s all global warming.
Which somehow produces bitter cold, unseasonable temps, dandelions, the flu, ninjas, meter maids, Mayan Apocalypses and acne.
Understand. I visit AccuWeather a few times a day. That old jet stream will dip pretty low to give you folks a bit of the cold shoulder as well. :)
Should make for some awesome football weather this weekend... to watch on TV.
Old man winter taint so gentle with the folks in Siberia. Then again he was not so kind a few weeks back when parts of Alaska and the Yukon Territory had -50F readings in some parts.
Enjoy the games.
Has anyone posted that it’s so hot it’s cold yet?
