‘Life-threatening conditions’: How severe will the Arctic storm in the US get? | DW News



Officials warned of “life-threatening” conditions as temperatures dropped as low as -50 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas. More than 4,000 flights planned for the Christmas weekend were canceled. The US National Weather Service (NWS) on Thursday warned of “dangerous cold” for much of the country, with a snow storm expected from late Thursday night into Friday morning.

The weather service warned that an Arctic blast would bring heavy snowfall to the Midwest, the Great Lakes and the Northeast through at least Saturday. This means that more than 200 million of the country’s 335 million inhabitants will remain under varied weather advisories during the Christmas weekend, which is set to be the coldest the country has seen in decades.

Forecasters are expecting a bomb cyclone — when atmospheric pressure drops very quickly in a strong storm — to develop near the US-Canada border.

The NSW forecast that “record-breaking cold and life-threatening wind chills over the Great Plains [would] overspread the eastern half of the Nation by Friday.” The weather agency warned that temperatures would drop between -40 to -70 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to -56 degrees Celsius), with strong gusts and heavy snow expected to cause damage to infrastructure and disrupt travel. “Wind chills of this magnitude can cause frostbite in less than five minutes if precautions are not taken, with hypothermia and death also possible from prolonged exposure to the cold,” it said. US President Joe Biden urged people across the country to take the weather warnings seriously. “This is not like a snow day when you are a kid,” Biden warned Thursday after a briefing with federal officials. “This is serious stuff,” he said.

Colder in the lower 48 than the north pole. We've been seeing this change since the industrial revolution. It is short sighted to be short sighted and only look back as far as our own experiences (lifetime) as a way if denying what is happening. Climate change is not about wide spread global warming. But about the poles more so the north where its all ice/water. The climate change is more of a shift and it is exacerbated by denial of how we abuse the planet.

Someone is just using manmade superconductors to suck the hot energy out of the air (I saw a documentary in my Organic Chemistry class that showed a superconductor that could make boiling water out of below freezing temperatures); they are just trying to get permission to holocaust.

As you know various countries have established programs to spray clouds with several chemicals "to prevent global warming" this i is the result and real reason behind these crazy climatic phenomenon.
It wasn't enough to pollute the world to such level now we wanna terraform by destroying the delicate balance of nature?

Here in northern Pakistan we had the least amount of snowfalls ever and our winter is also warmer.during October unprecedented flooding affected most of our country.climate change is happening and our governments are not doing anything.

Kathleen Norton January 3, 2023 at 4:28 pm

Anyone who noticed the tons and tons of chemtrail chemicals released into our atmosphere in the last month or so? Miles and miles of crisscrossing streams, even obvious designs up there to see, for those few who are actually aware of what has been going on above them.
How many deaths are they responsible for?

Kathleen Norton January 3, 2023 at 4:33 pm

Trying to search YouTube for current people who specialize in weather's current reports goes no where. Doesn't YouTube want people to keep up on possibly dangerous weather conditions possible for the near future.
What comes up is quite old, useless reports.

good handful of minimum wage service workers lost their lives commuting back home in that storm in new york state alone. many are still missing and presumed still buried under snow drifts in their cars.

i honestly hope our government holds those companies and their CEOs criminally and financially responsible for choosing to stay open when they KNEW ahead of time how bad this was going to be, simply because they needed those holiday dollars and that Christmas bonus and stock options.

This is something every non-american NEEDS to understand about America. Everyone thinks we're so privileged, lazy, etc. We literally have the most extreme weather on the planet. People that have enough money to live comfortably are lucky, and many people are trying to survive in this country on the streets or in a car. Weather REGULARLY causes BILLIONS of dollars in damages. We're not the most walking prone people, we need our AC and heat, and we love our massive cold drinks because we need them. We do our best in a place where it gets to 120° F in summer and -30° F in winter.
