Cold weather in the winter...wow! What news!

[ck]

It’s normal everyone. Weather is a pattern, it’s actually pretty cool you can look back decades of recorded weather. We have had heat waves and record breaking low temperatures. Look at California heavy snow storms then heavy rain caused Sacramento at one point to be flooded. I believe old town even has a story of raising buildings because of the flooding. Very interesting history with weather.

It’s winter and it’s cold!! Way to go media!!

[kalmykdude]

Hype up a normal winter day, great job weasels.

[TheNoirMirror]

Oh no, it's cold.... during winter?

[jaimeogas]

Coldest in 3 years? It was 10 below zero in Milwaukee on February 14th last year. Today it is 7 above zero. Nothing to freak out over.

The only solution is (at minimum) $20 Trillion to the Feds to solve this vicious weather

The nuclear bomb, polar vortex, viscous storm….. sounds very familiar. OMG! It’s Winter and it’s cold. Someone please hand Al a paper bag.

[nickpavia]

These are normal temperatures for these parts of the country in January. How is this news?

[presidentcamacho]

The Gulf Stream has been weakening for about a century & no amount of electric cars or green energy legislation can stop it.

[gardavis]

Yeah. It's called winter in the Midwest. It's not dangerous or new.

0:22 Darwin was right, nature does weed out the nitwits. But seriously, if your hands are cold, and you know it's going to be cold outside, why didn't you put your hands in your pockets or wear gloves like a normal/smart person would in winter? And if you don't own a pair of gloves, you should've bought one anyways just in case. They aren't that much, and it means your hands won't be freezing. It's common sense to always bring gloves, but I guess having sense isn't too common nowadays

Frigid temperatures in the Midwest in !

[gpop]

I believe the midwest is suppose to receive this type of weather.

[the_phuckery_is_real]

So you're telling me that it gets cold during winter. Who knew?

[way]

Why everyone hates and is tuning out the media. Hype over normal winter weather that is lasting exactly ONE DAY in NJ then back to 30's normal. Good Jesus GIVE IT UP!!!

[kevinl]

I'm surprised they didn't say it was Trump's fault! As we all know by now, this admin can do no wrong!!!!

[CrystalRicotta]

Can you imagine being on that ice chunk floating away in the old days ❄️❄️❄️

[RichardMiller-tqut]

It's almost like it's January or something

[DaveMiller]

The temperatures shown look like normal winter cold. Most weren't even below zero. And 1 foot of snow? It's winter. That's not a lot of snow for the East coast or the midwest. It would be a lot of snow for Atlanta.
