A powerful winter cyclone — the same storm that lead to two tornado outbreaks in the United States and disastrous river flooding — has driven the North Pole to the freezing point this week, 50 degrees above average for this time of year.

Local weathertv guy made comment last night it was 35 in Walnut Creek, CA and 37 in Juneau.

the jetstream be upsetting the apple carts all over. We barely manage 50 the last few days.. Send supplies.. Beer . chips.. Out.

Yeah, I’m afraid the MSM got the 50 degree difference by comparing actual North Pole averages to the towns current temp. The actual North Pole right now is certainly freezing: http://psc.apl.washington.edu/northpole/

I stayed three weeks at Ft. Greely in September of ‘71.

I’m a firm believer in Climate change. Where I differ with the leftards is that I believe it is natural and normal. We’re just dealing with the changes.

Honestly I have it that it is this warm and I think most interior Alaskans would agree with me.

I just had a vision of Al Gore’s bare, fat buttocks protruding from melting ice cap.

That accounts for the methane.

No, a town named North Pole Alaska in the center of the state.

This is the same story all the other lefty rags are spewing; including the bad math.
