CNN Reports: Dangerously cold weather had much of the United States in its grip early Monday morning, with no relief in sight for the rest of the week.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, the temperature was -3 degrees as Monday began, and with the wind chill, it felt like -17 degrees. By Thursday, the high is forecast to be only 4 degrees.
While the upper Midwest is accustomed to frigid weather, freezing temperatures can come as a shock in Florida.
The Panhandle and much of northern Florida is under a hard freeze warning, the National Weather Service says. The warning extended almost down to Tampa Bay along the Gulf Coast.
Florida officials have been urging residents, visitors and agricultural interests to prepare for temperatures near or below the freezing mark this week.
Along with the dangerously cold temperatures, residents in Montana have been warned by the Weather Service to brace for blizzard conditions with snowfall of 12 to 20 inches possible across parts of the state.
In Chicago, Illinois, residents bundled up on another bitterly cold day and many stayed indoors. Early Monday morning, the temperature in Chicago was 9 degrees with light snow, and by Saturday, the forecast high is only 8 degrees.
In the Northeast, the Weather Service warned that a large storm off the New England coast would continue to bring heavy snow to much of central New York state.

What do you want? Obama went to Copenhagen and announced that temperatures would fall, and they did (in America and Europe). Now THAT’S power. 🙂
Global Warming?
Hee hee, ha ha,
ha ha ha, Ha Ha
HA HA HA Ha HA
Burr….
This mocking of global warming is ridiculous.
First I am not a scientist nor an authority on climate to determine if global warming is a reality. Nor do I think most readers of YWN are. Fact of the matter is there are different opinions among experts as to the veracity of global warming. It seems to be political expedient to align oneself with the faction that best meets their political persuasion.
Second even if global warming is a reality, it doesn’t mean there will never be cold days.It means that over time the average temperature of the world is rising which it definitely has over the last few years
Could someone please tell Al Gore (inventor of the internet -lol) to please send a little warming to the New York area.
#3- if you believe the geologists, it has been so warm in the past that Greenland was tropical, and it has been so cold that New York was buried by a year-round ice cap. Climate and weather are variable, and always has been. People (and other living things) adapt.
In addition, warm is generally good. Over the last few thousand years, cold spells corresponded with declines of civilization, and warm spells with growth. More people die of cold than of heat. Crops prefer warmth to cold (just think when is the last time you bought produce from Antartica).
One state once wanted to change the value of the mathematical constant “pi” to a easier to use number. Governments once invested high fortunes in eugenics based on the scientifc (Darwinian) theories that some people were “inferior” and others “superior”. Perhaps you remember “cold fusion” a few years ago, and if you are older, the famous “Piltdown man”. Perhaps you read about King Canute who demonstrated his inability to command the tides (he was much more modest than our current leaders).
MOCKING global warming “science” is not merely fun, but is quite reasonable.
orthinsider:
The issue has two parts: (1) is the planet experiencing global warming; (2) are humans creating or contributing to it.
The answer to (1) is probably yes.
The answer to (2) is definitely no.
One proof for both answers is that the icecaps on Mars are also shrinking.
Guess Who (with a capital W) is causing global warming??

Answer #1 is INCORRECT! Derch Ha’teva weather runs in cycles. We are coming off of 10 straight years of COOOLER temps.
I have no idea what ice on mars has to do with ice here unless you are trying to postulate that the sun is hotter so planet ice is melting too???
3,
In case you didnt get the memo only a handful of “scientists” claimed there was global warming and there was something that could be done about it.
The other part of the memo was that the emails came out showing this whole thing as a hoax perpetrated by some wacko leftist scientists.
Its time to give up on this man made global warming climate change hypocrisy. Its a bunch of apikorsis anyway.
Orthoinsider, With all due respect all agree there has been no warming over the last ten years, the question facin the Al Gore cloud is why Global Warming went on Hiatus.
Perhaps one of their answeres is to change the terinology from the now infrequently used “Global Warming” to “Climate Change” which means any change in the climate is a) a disator b) man made c)cause to get taxed.
