US braces for brutal December cold as forecasters warn of rare temperature plunge

According to reporting from UniLad, large parts of the United States are preparing for an intense blast of Arctic air.
 
UniLad reports that MIT climatologist Judah Cohen expects temperatures from the Midwest to the East Coast to fall 15 to 20 degrees below the seasonal average in mid-December.

He told USA Today that the chill arriving in early December is “the appetizer,” while the more severe phase will strike in the third week of the month.

“The most expansive region of most likely extreme cold on Earth stretches from the Canadian Plains to the US East Coast,” Cohen said.

Such a drop could push typical mid-December temperatures in cities like New York — normally around 37°F — down into the teens.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

What's so rare about temperature plunges in December? :shrug:

Global Climate Change strikes again!  Cold and snow in December is unprecedented (if you ignore all the previous precedents).  I blame flatulent flounder.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Shoveling the driveway and sidewalks were always a chore, but that meant have piles of snow to build forts and having snowball fights as kids -- loads of fun!!!  Two pairs of mittens, long johns, two pairs of socks a stocking cap, and maybe a scarf and we were ready for a couple of hours of winter wonderland.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
