Its a wild wind storm here in Valley Forge,pa.. The 100 foot trees arent liking it along with the fire depts and power company!
Thanks, Mike!
Look how packed the isobars are below from the tight pressure gradient!

Now let's look at the big picture and the Arctic High coming in from Canada!!!
https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/viewsector.php?sector=19&parm=ttd#
What we're looking at here is a huge piece of the polar vortex, displaced unusually far south.
This is the 250 mb map, which is over 30,000 feet up. This is almost at the level that commercial jets fly at!
Note the very strong jet stream coming out of the Pacific at the same time.
Red = 150 knots+ which is almost 200 mph that Mike the US Coast Guard guy knows about from using knots to navigate the seas.
The northern/Arctic stream is phasing with the Pacific stream and creating the intense lift in the Northeast which is responsible for the deep low pressure system on the previous page.
The 500 mb map (around 17,000 feet) below shows the anomalies:
The polar vortex has split into 3 pieces here, seen with the negative/blue anomalies(not the one in the Pacific) and displaced unusually far south into the middle latitudes.
The extreme positive anomalies, extend from Siberia to Central and Eastern Canada. This is where the Polar Vortex normally resides in Winter.

What makes this funny is the way that most articles are twisted to turn this into a horrible thing, when:
1. Climate change is warming the coldest places at the coldest times of year, by far the most.
2. Climate change is causing LESS frequent intense cold waves in the Winter everywhere. A good thing.
3. Climate change is causing the magnitude of the intense cold to be LESS severe everywhere. A good thing.
But somehow, when we have extreme cold(or extreme anything).........it's because of climate change and part of the totally fake climate crisis!
https://studyfinds.org/extreme-cold-despite-global-warming/
Scientists found that unusual atmospheric patterns, linked to Arctic warming, caused 83% of the cold event’s intensity.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Never mind this massive benefit: "However, climate change actually reduced the event’s severity by 6-22% compared to what it might have been in pre-industrial times."
+++++++++++++++++
Since we had MORE of these outbreaks and they were COLDER 50 years ago, how can we tell in 2025 when climate change caused these cold outbreaks and when they were caused from the natural variability that has always dominated weather?
Answer: We usually can't and they try to tell us that 83% of it came from climate change??? It's scientifically impossible to use a % to the single digit of preciseness to represent what portion of climate change caused cold events. Especially when they closely resemble the same exact meteorology of the events just like them in the 1970's, for instance!!!
I know this because I studied the many cold Winters in the 1970's(at the end of modest global cooling). They look just like today's extreme cold events...........except they were COLDER in the 1970's. This is junk meteorology/science! They are stealing people's intelligence with this dung.
We are supposed to believe that climate change causes extreme weather that plays a role in everything........even extreme cold and snow. Even violent tornadoes that have dropped by 50% because of the warming in higher latitudes.
I've been an operational meteorologist for well over 4 decades. For sure some heavy rain events are worse by up to 8%. Some hurricanes can strengthen quicker over water that is 1 Deg. warmer from climate change. Heat waves in many places are slightly hotter (not the US, outside of the West Coast and deserts).
The rest of the weather, which is the vast majority of it........IS BETTER because of the climate OPTIMUM we are currently experiencing from the beneficial gas, CO2.
