Old Man Winter will be unrelenting across the Midwest and Northeast this week as yet another blast of arctic air spreads deep into the South and off the Atlantic coast.
This current push of arctic air is delivering air that is just as cold, or even colder than the air that brought subzero lows to the Midwest and Northeast during last weekend.
Millions will shiver from Chicago to New York City as record lows are challenged during this bitter blast. Records may also fall across parts of the South where temperatures manage to fall into the teens and single digits.
Floridians will even experience a taste of the arctic chill with temperatures dipping down to the lower 30s in cities such as Orlando, Melbourne and Daytona Beach.
The worst of the cold is expected to focus over the East into Friday.
At Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the temperature dropped to minus 19 F Thursday morning and set a record low for any date of the year. The old record was minus 18 F set during January 1977.
In the mid-Atlantic, some daily record lows set during the late-1800s will be challenged.
AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures below 0 F will be common across the regions during the daytime hours, including cities along the Interstate 95 corridor. These values can then drop by as much as 20 degrees during the overnight hours, making for a bitterly cold morning commute.
Snow showers are also likely to develop downwind of the Great Lakes late in the week even though the lakes are quickly becoming covered in ice.

US Spring Outlook: Where is Milder Weather on the Horizon?
Temperatures can be very dangerous, and possibly even life threatening during this arctic outbreak.
Anyone planning on venturing outside should wear extra layers, hats and gloves to help stay protected from the cold. Fortunately, winds should not be as strong as they were during the cold spell over the weekend, making it feel not quite as cold.
Water main breaks may occur across the Midwest and Northeast as the extreme cold penetrates deep into the ground. This could quickly lead to icy areas where the lines rupture.
Throughout the Midwest, Northeast and into the South, insufficiently protected plumbing could freeze. Some heat-pump furnaces could struggle to keep up with the severe cold.
Anyone who has animals that live in the outdoors should also take the proper precautions to keep their pets stay safe.
As a preventative measure for freezing pipes, people can leave the tap drip slowly. Keep cabinet doors open in cold rooms where plumbing passes through.
Pet owners should bring their animals indoors and make sure that they have proper bedding when temperatures dip below the 20-degree mark, as well as ensuring that they have water that is not frozen.
The core of the cold weather is expected to shift away from the Northeast and Midwest heading into the weekend, allowing temperatures to moderate. However, that rise in temperature will be accompanied by a far-reaching storm with wintry precipitation.
Despite the rise in temperatures, highs are still forecast to remain below normal through at least Sunday, and possibly longer.

Jim McCabe · Top CommenterNo one is saying the existence of the earth is in peril. The earth will be good to go. But whether it will be habitable for humans - and modern civilization we have come to know and love- who have only been around for "not even a fleck of dust in comparison to Earth's age" is a valid question.
If tiny micro organisms could alter the atmosphere to make it possible for humans to evolve, I don't think it is such a stretch to admit that humans belching out hundreds of billions of tonnes of stored carbon can also have an effect on the atmosphere. Think about that, not just the weather.- Jim McCabe · Top CommenterBruce Seibert So you are saying the 500 billion tonnes of carbon put into the atmosphere BY HUMANS has no effect on the atmosphere at all. And the next 1 Trillion tonnes will also have no effect whatsoever?
I understand the earth's climate changes over time with or without humans on the planet. I also understand the organisms inhabiting earth have helped cause that climate to change.

Scott Stocker · Top Commenter · SUNY PlattsburghJim McCabe On March 28, 2012 , 49 former NASA astronauts and and scientists wrote an open letter to NASA administrator Charles Bolden, Jr. saying:
"We believe the claims by NASA and GISS [NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies], that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data," the group wrote. "With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled.”.

Jason Hietanen · Top CommenterJim McCabe The question is what effect is this extra CO2 having on the planet? Is the effect good or is it bad? If you think of plants and the greening of our planet then the answer should be yes. Why do you think this extra carbon is not good for the planet? because you heard it from some political organization?
I'm not being facetious but being serious. They're pretty simple question really.
Now when you make your claims I want you to list the supporting evidence for this claim and I'm not talking about the fallacy appeal to authority argument....I want you to support your answer using the empirical data. You must also remember that correlation does not imply causation so you must use the historical data to support your claim as well.
I'll wait for your reply.....but I doubt it will come. You may come back with some strawman or ad hominem attack but you won't come back with the answers. If you did come back...I think you would become a so called 'skeptic'.

I remember back in 2002 I realized there was a housing bubble that would eventually collapse and bring the banks down with it. I could have written a book and said things like "by 2004 Fannie Mae will be bankrupt along with the entire financial system" and in 2006 you could have pointed to that to say there was nothing to worry about in the financial system. The naysayers are wrong. And you know what.... people said that even after the collapse started. Look at the overall structure, not what some author said to sell books 25 years ago.

That has been more what my presence here has been about.....but not just "the planet" as you say, the planet will be fine, will the changes allow modern civilization to survive? as I asked in my first post. It baffles me that people seem to think humans can alter the atmosphere all they want and have no effect whatsoever. It HAS to have an effect. That's how the earth works. We would not be here if it did not work that way.
Any conversation of the benefits of climate change will of course have a net benefit. Some people die, others live, some places thrive, others decline.

Mixing Obama with climate change, what's the point. You are wasting your time arguing with them. As far as I know no one that said there was a risk of climate disruption due to the CO2 release said It would happen in a day as their argument want us to believe. It takes decades.
Bob Downey · Director at Tumai, Inc.Jim McCabe It is a fact that the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption dumped more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race from the start of the industrial revolution to that date. Each year volcanic activity dwarfs any manmade additions. The climate models have been fabricated to intentionally show warming trends when the actual data has the earth cooling since 1990.
Ogner Frybrain · Top Commenter · The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative StudiesSteve Wolf ROFL! "the CLIMATE of the world was the warmest in 2014 than has EVER been recorded".
First of all, they have only recorded about 40 years worth of data out of billions of years.
Secondly while that sounds god awful scarey, it was 1/100 of 1 degree! Within the margin of error LOL! It shouldn't even have been recorded as a change.
You whine about one stinking year or two here and there but write off entire winters, so your year counts but someone elses half a year is just weather?
How about the fact that all the data has been faked and or adjusted and always adjusted to the warmer, never to the colder?
Lastly if anyone thinks our corrupt. incompetent, government full of flunkies and stooges can fix this imaginary problem, they are one of P.T. Barnums famous suckers!
Penny Morrison · Top CommenterThe climate system likely has feedback inputs that trigger cooling when the oceans warm (whether natural or manmade)... possibly triggering at least a mini-ice age to keep the Earth from overheating. Or the recent cooling could be due to sunspot activity being weak this cycle, similar to the weak sunspot cycles during the maunder and Dalton Minimums (which coincided with "mini-ice ages).
It's interesting that the ice age glaciers were concentrated over the Northeastern sector of North America,, where much of the cold and snowy conditions are currently occurring.- Scott Stocker · Top Commenter · SUNY PlattsburghSteve Wolf “Because the greenhouse effect is temporary rather than permanent, predictions of significant global warming in the 21st century by IPCC are not supported by the data.” — Hebrew University Professor Dr. Michael Beenstock an honorary fellow with Institute for Economic Affairs who published a study challenging man-made global warming claims titled “Polynomial Cointegration Tests of the Anthropogenic Theory of Global Warming.”“The whole idea of anthropogenic global warming is completely unfounded. There appears to have been money gained by [Michael] Mann, [Al] Gore and [UN IPCC’s Rajendra] Pachauri as a consequence of this deception, so it’s fraud.” — South African astrophysicist Hilton Ratcliffe, a member of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (ASSA) and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and a Fellow of the British Institute of Physics.’“We’re not scientifically there yet. Despite what you may have heard in the media, there is nothing like a consensus of scientific opinion that this is a problem. Because there is natural variability in the weather, you cannot statistically know for another 150 years.” — UN IPCC’s Tom Tripp, a member of the UN IPCC since 2004 and listed as one of the lead authors and serves as the Director of Technical Services & Development for U.S. Magnesium.Warming
- Jason Hietanen · Top CommenterJim McCabe Thanks for the reply. It's refreshing to receive a reply that is not full of hate, rhetoric and name calling....thank you.
But I ask if this extra CO2 that is being emitted is a good thing or a bad thing for the planet because all we hear in the popular news is the expected bad from CO2. The expected bad that is nothing more than modeled results from heavy selective biased models. The models themselves have a 96% failure rate so the science that is based off the modeled data are wrong right from the start.
We can validate the models accuracy by measuring them against observations...that's how we know they are flawed....the high value given to CO2 for its doubling has produced flawed science. The selective bias that does not hold up to observations is used IN ALL CLIMATE MODELS.
Now there is a ton of science out there showing the benefits of a higher CO2 count in the atmosphere....but do you here about these? no...because it goes against the ideology that is CAGW.
It's all so sad, actually.
I can give you a bunch of peer reviewed science that shows the benefits of a higher CO2 level atmosphere if you like? - Jim McCabe · Top Commenter
John Todd Ulrich · Top Commenter · Bucks CCC
Daniel M. Parker · Top Commenter · Owner at Tillinghast & Neely Consulting ForestersIt takes mankind at least 33 years to emit as much carbon dioxide as nature does EVERY year. Our contribution is small. If it is true that rising levels of CO2 cause temperatures to rise then the earth will come into balance in short order as increased tree growth and expanding tree ranges up mountain slopes and toward the artic will sequester the "excess" CO2. The increased levels of CO2 will cause increased (have caused) tree growth rates and increased temperatures will increase tree ranges.
Ted Moore · Top CommenterJim McCabe That's the point. No one knows. And do a search on what a single average volcanic eruption adds to the atmosphere. Or the affect of a solar minimum or maximum. Most anthropomorphic climate change skeptics are just that: skeptics, not deniers. We also find the alarmism, intolerance, and lemming-like conformity of the "we're doing this" community to be too convenient to the collectivists, statists, and the guilt-ridden not to factor that in to our examination of the issue.- Scott Stocker · Top Commenter · SUNY PlattsburghSteve Wolf It actually made for a great headline, but no, 2014 was NOT the warmest. NASA quietly said later, well, maybe a 33% chance it was. So the global temperature has not wavered for 17 years, and CO2 emissions have increased exponentially, so, we can now say that global temperatures are NOT directly correlated to CO2 emissions. Case closed.

Bill Mehl · Bellaire High School, Bellaire, OhioJim McCabe I'm not sure its possible to quantify the effect that 500 billion tons of CO2 has on global atmosphere and by extension human existence. You seem certain about the number of tons however, but over what time span? We cannot suspend the laws of chemistry either, so to assert (if you are as it seems) that every ton of carbon released is floating out there like the Phantom Menace is a bit disingenuous in my opinion. If there was a real danger from all this carbonization wouldn't we have felt it by now? The industrial Age has passed in the US, and pollution controls are stronger than ever before. In opposition to that, coal-fired energy generating plants are being built by the dozens in Asian countries every single year. I respect your passion for standing by your beliefs, especially in a culture where differing opinions usually leads to strident gainsaying. I would like to see more empirical evidence and less that is based on projections.

John Moyer · Top Commenter · Eau Claire High School- Leon Wiese · Top Commenter · Not working at RetiredJim McGave, the plants love all the CO2. They grow stronger, taller, reproduce better and as a by product they put oxygen back out for us humans and animals to breath. Which BTW allows us to live. They even let people like you breath it even though you want to destroy their means of life.
Sean MathewsAnd yet one volcano eruption has the ability to cause more harm than any thing we as human could possibly do. As an amateur astronomer, I am of the belief the cold has more to do with sun cycles. This is the weakest solar maximum in more than 200 years. Last time that happened there was a mini Ice Age in the 1700s. Yeah, there might be climate change, but its a normal occurrence. You want to talk about global warming, look at how hot things were when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. "Global Warming" is nothing more than a political buzzword employed by millionaires to get more money. That's it. If they really cared, they'd be having teleconferences instead of flying to their little climate warming conferences. The books, unlike our planet, are cooked.

There is no statistically significant change to earth's temperature or distribution of temperature caused by human released CO2.

It still isn't warm enough to grow wine grapes in the north of England they way the Romans did, and the CO2 is far higher now than it was then.

Todd Robertson · Top CommenterJim McCabe - I took an HVAC class years ago. We had to study the effects of freon breaking down if released.

Bruce RoddThe billion of tonnes of carbon you speak of is CO2. A colorless odorless gas in which is about 0.04% of the atmosphere or 400 PPM. Only 4% of that is man-made or 0.0016%. CO2 does not make it warmer, when it gets warmer more CO2 is released, not the other way around. This is a indisputable fact. The biggest so called green house gas is water vapor.

This global warming scare is just that... a scam to frighten everyone to hand over more of their money disguised as buying carbon credits. Or Cap and Trade. This just means more taxes on everything, goods and services that all have to be transported. Al Gore, and others are now becoming fabulously wealthy thanks to these 'red environmentalists' and the lame stream media that just goes along for the sake of keeping their jobs. The goal is a redistribution of wealth according to how ever the elitists see fit. They have to create a 'Utopia' you know.

Jofe Ferrer · Commentator, Analyst, and Gadfly at Halsey ManorWhy does the learned Al Gore go into hiding every time there is a snowstorm? He should have opted for Global Cooling (Time Magazine 1974), that I would believe. Oops, the focus group just announced that the new operative word is climate change.
Catherine Forester · Top Commenter · Niagara University
Ruth Brown · Works at The Library of CongressGlobal warming in the atmosphere makes it able to hold a larger amount of moisture, and this is partly responsible for the HUGE amount of snow that has fallen over New England. Polar vortex coming? Global warming melts the ice sheets that hold that vortex in place. So yes, global warming is striking over and over.
- William Svoboda · Top Commenter · CUNYWhen it come to the weather these guys are grasping at straws. The best they can do is a few days forecast, look in the seventies they were calling for a new Ice Age. In the 1950's we were buried in snow, as it was during the sixties and early seventies. The environmental movement took off in the eighties and nineties and all we heard was global warming. Whether it was hot or cold, rain or shine, snow or ice, it was all Global Warming. So here we are again it's winter and it's cold and the lunatic fringe is out there screaming once again about Global Warming, sell it to the Eskimo's.

Beardog Leach · Top Commenter · University of New HampshireBill Vernon The govt. forces the issue with the withholding of grant money to opposing views...AND the total fabrication of statistics and number of supporting scientists...We all do realize that this "consensus" thing is total BS don't we? In fact, many of the IPCC scientists had to actually sue the agency to have their names removed from the report....They realized the lies being perpetuated.- Ted Steiner · Top Commenter · University of California, Los Angeles
Mary Coakley-Knapp · Top CommenterUpstate NY and we have been trapped in way below normal temperatures for weeks. Yesterday's high ----negative 4---- something I've never seen and the rest of the week's forecast if single digits days and below zero nights. Call it what you want, but something is definately off kilter with our weather around the globe...
- Cory Morrison · Follow · Top Commenter · Sheridan College, OakvilleIt's the persistent ridging out West with the negative EPO and WPO, as well as the positive PNA causing this pattern. All 3 of these things might ease a couple of weeks from now (According to NOAA), weakening this pattern, but I am skeptical as to whether this will happen or not.

- Richard Thompson · Top Commenter · IPS ENGINEER at Dell IncorporatedNow you see why they changed it from Global Warming to Climate change so they can continue to get their money.
- John Todd Ulrich · Top Commenter · Bucks CCCAll this cold air is coming from where? The arctic where we are led to believe the ice is melting and the poor polar bears are suffering. What a load of baloney!
J West Hardin · Follow · Top Commenter · Bangkok, ThailandDoes this mean that climate has been changing...even since the 1800's? What about the mini ice age a hundred years earlier? Who caused the ice age 15,000 years ago. What about the cooling solar cycle.....and the fact that Earth is cooling while Mars is warming. Was it Bush...c'mon...someone in the Obama camp has to blame it on Bush.
This whole 'carbon thang' isn't just a way to redistribute western tax dollars to the developing countries is it? Is that why 100 poor nations sitting at the UN consistently vote for climate change initiatives...because they get rich from the debate? Or is it just Bush?
Gary Neidhardt · Top Commenter · Author at Poseidon and the PCIf a bad hurricane, that's climate change. Drought? That's climate change. Too much rain? That's climate change. If colder, that's climate change. Next, for the sake of honesty, let the U.S. climate change supporters declare their party. 100% Democrats. Liberals. Mainly government funded bureaucrats. Liberals dependent upon tax money, and there's never enough of that. This is a classic huge fraud that is giving science bad names, because there is nothing scientific or reproducible.
Michael Barnett · Follow · Top Commenter · 128 followersThe cycles and intensity of that giant nuclear fusion reactor with a mass 333,000 times that of Earth 8 minutes away from us has no bearing on climate -- especially not the record cold year after year for the last 5 years or so. Nope, my car is what's causing the global freezing we're pretending is "global warming" but which we're told by Bill Nye to call "Climate Change" when people are freezing to death.

Ricky Vee · Top CommenterThe planet is entering a mini ice age, which it has gone through many times before, last being back during the early 1800's. BPEarthwatch on youtube has a good video on it, the latest climate report stating global cooling is occurring. Plus we have had a ton of volcanic activity that has cooled the globe by pumping tons of chemicals into the upper atmosphere. The Dark Ages were named for the mini ice age that occurred during that time that caused widespread crop failures, famine and disease. But back then people knew how to live off the land and the world population was smaller. These days, with millions on government assistance for food, if the crops fail big time you are looking at a scenario that is the biggest threat to humankind modern man will ever witness.
Grant McGuire · Top Commenter · Western Connecticut State UniversityOnce again, Accuweather is predicting a warm-up in 10-14 days, but I'm certain it'll fizzle.- Cory Morrison · Follow · Top Commenter · Sheridan College, OakvilleApparently with teleconnections, sources are predicting that the PNA is supposed to get negative, while the EPO and WPO get positive. All 3 of these things would support warmth in the East, but of course like you, I am sure that a sustained warm pattern in the East is very unlikely and that these teleconnections may not work out, and it may stay like this for an unbelievably long time.

William Ripskull · Top CommenterMark my words... the global warming crowd will determine about this time next year that 2015 was the warmest year on record. Of course they'll only have a 15% level of confidence that that is true.
John Pinches · Follow · Top CommenterYour kidding me. There are still people who believe in Global Warming? The Internet is full of information for why this is not true People need to read more.- John Moyer · Top Commenter · Eau Claire High SchoolThis so called global warming is a farce just to pass a carbon tax. Hey Gore want to come out and play on this hot day we are having. Crawl back in the hole you came from boy.
