Florida get cold weather temperatures global climate change pass point no return
HARP military meteorological systems attack US from China or Russia
NEWS FLASH: It’s cold in January in the great lakes and northeast.
Why are they acting like the news has never seen snow before? Always creating a scary movie these goofies need to shut up ( 3, years) what another state of emergency lol….
REPENT! God not playing! Are you?
Has anybody Told Joe Biden or Gretta Thunbug to look outside at the thermometer?????
Thank you byron
*”THIS GENERATOR IS WHAT EVERYONE USES TO GET GIFTCARDS, AM I RIGHT?”*
*”**CoDgEn.UnO**”*
*”**CoDgEn.UnO**”*
*P.S. THIS IS THE REAL THING THIS YEAR.* tX
I know. I have been freeze here cause my home has too much windows. Fff.
It must be noted that it’s January and snow storms throughout the northern states happen about every year.
Lmao exactly 😂🤣😂🤣
Except this story is about the entire US, not just the northern states.
But never like this.
We just got out of that cold and it lasted for quite some time so stay home and stay warm
Starve
You’ll be intrapped as well
Alive
Lol there is nothing Texas here everytime they extreme weather so I don’t really know what they are talking about. The only thing that happened is or got really cold a while ago. Maybe before 2 weeks or whenever it was. But that was it. It was one day and the other day wasn’t really bad so it doesn’t count. Lol all of seems like lies but it is not.
I never understood why people still make it a big deal about any of the four seasons. I’ve lived over 50 winters and when I was a little boy, it always got cold this time of year and my mother made sure I wore thermals, a scarf, a hat and some gloves and extra Vaseline to keep my face moist. So I really don’t get the point in talking about the cold weather in winter. If it was 90° degrees out, yeah that’s a conversation to have but winter weather? Come on people we can do better than this. Dress accordingly and keep it moving. It’s really not a big deal.
lucky you having all those nice warm clothes. Now if you & everyone else that’s sick of hearing about people dying from the cold were to go & donate even just one of your winter clothing items to the homeless, they wouldn’t have to talk about how they’re all dying anymore would they!
@Me Here Our church gives out clothes food all year long. We practice everyday day being Thanksgiving and Christmas 365 days of the year. We also at times let people stay in the church for shelter. Love is what loves does and talk is cheaper than dollar store merchandise.
@Me Here What the heck are you talking about…? So people are dying from the cold because they don’t have winter clothing, lol…Are you serious right now…
@KimmyC1 Thank you…..smh too.
@Voice Of Reason oh, ok, maybe you lived more than 49 summers. Sorry my math was wrong.
She must’ve had some really good espresso shots. 😂
I know you might say this is just winter. But I don’t think it is as normal.
This happens all the time in Minnesota. I’m 48 and seen way worse. -62 few years ago. This didn’t make your news. This is what happens when there’s no real news.
Millions in U.S. under cold weather alert … also known as “winter.”
The announcers voice is creating fear mongering.
Making normal weather so sensational. nice acting and delivery.
they should not have rescued the people floating in the ice sheet. They shuld not be have been outside trygin to have fun in this weather. delberately Arrogant and Stupid people don’t deserve sympathy.
If you’re going to call people those names, at least make sure your learn how to spell. It just makes it comedy for others to read. It’s not just this comment either, all your comments have elementary school spelling.
Omg i not can believe that winter is cold thank you for pointing that out
How’s that Global Warming BS working out? Obama and Gore are laughing their heads off at you suckers!
unhoused population? new term
Term invented by the same people who came up with the term underserved communities
12am in Phoenix, AZ and it’s 57 degrees. It’s freezing!
Now imagine if we suddenly we’re going through another Ice Age. We wouldn’t know what to do! We’re so unprepared for so many natural disasters.
a “sudden” ice age is not a “natural disaster”. I don’t think you understand how the world works if you think that’s how things happen! Movies aren’t real life!
@Me Here lol omg
They need to issue dispatchers and truck companies fines for forcing truckers to drive in snow only to jacknife and cause major delays
produce cannot wait, fuels cannot wait the list is endless as to why they try, not to mention if you sit you dont get paid, knowing a truckers life helps when you wonder why they try
We need trucks for food, gas and basic essentials. Your supplies do not magically appear on the shelves.
Yesterday global warming, today record lows. Ohh how stupid the media thinks we are.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Wait till orange sized hail becomes a norm. But let’s not do anything till where digging our homes underground…..UV Radiation anyone?
I might be wrong but I think this happens like once a year… i think they call it winter 🤔
In Central NY, we used to call it “Fall”.
Nice and warm hear in California… I even wore shorts to the grocery store today 🙃
Meanwhile in Australia, I want to know where summer is. It’s only just warm enough for shorts here in the middle of summer this year (some days it’s not). Lucky you having all our summer warmth. Make sure you enjoy it for me 🙂
@Me Here some coastal areas in California is puffer jacket weather in middle of summer
@Jacob Moody That’s what it’s been like this summer in Sydney 🙁 That’s not normal though. It’s not that bad now, but a month ago it was. I had one evening I went out & I was literally wearing the same clothes (puffer jacket, beanie etc) that I had been wearing on the coldest winter nights & I was still freezing cold! I can’t remember exactly when that was now, but I remember thinking “it’s supposed to be summer right now, wtf?” No need for more than tracky dacks & a regular fleesy jumper this month & even that’s not common, mostly just tracky dacks or a jumper’s enough with shorts or t-shirt on the other end, but this time of year is supposed to be tank top, shorts & still hot. And it’s rained almost every day this summer too! Same as last year! Apparently we’re in a “double la nina”. Lets just hope it doesn’t become a triple! No idea if that weather system is having anything to do with northern hemisphere weather or not
Nice ice boat.
*Just tell um all to hang on and don’t panic help is on the way. The Government shall be coming to help*
BREAKING NEWS:
It’s still winter
The guy who can’t feel his fingers can try wearing gloves.
What a bunch on Cry Babies
Global warming
IT’S WINTER, DON’T DRAMATIZE IT!
In some parts of Russia the kids can’t go to school if temperatures reach -50 degrees
Where’s al gore
Hes moving from his mansion to his other mansions and flying in his person jet
“Un-housed,” “un-sheltered.” Is the word homeless offensive now?
I guess they’re differentiating those that are homeless but couch surf from those living rough without the option to do that
@Me Here No, they’re not. I think homeless is really a better term as it denotes the sadness of their situation. Calling someone unhoused makes them sound like they are just cattle. What a dumb and useless movement that’s been unleashed.
@Devotee to me it’s referencing those that cannot spend the night anywhere safe even in this cold. We use the terms “homeless” for overall, including couch surfers & those living in their cars/vans & “rough sleepers” for the group being discussed here where I live.
What term do you use for rough sleepers in NY? You don’t want them using the terms they used, so presumably you have a better term in mind that they should have used?
“Homeless” is not a suitable term for the situation being described here, as it is only around 7% of the homeless that they are discussing, 93% of homeless people have somewhere out of the cold they can go on nights like this one, where they won’t be at risk of dying from the cold
👉 for those who don’t believe in the climate crisis I’ll leave you with this; The Earth will be just fine, it’s the people that currently inhabited it and their descendants who will be screwed!
That scene is from Pulaski, New York. (0:09)
Does this count as climate change? Global warming?
Foolish sheeps. Self organizing criticalities… unpredictable.. Stop burning fossil fuels…heat your home w wind and solar ONLY
I LOVE THIS WEATHER 😃
Ludicrous that they are trying very hard to mix covid up with the cold weather. Of course one has nothing to do with the other except in the minds of the mentally ill liberals
Just six months ago is was hot here. 😳 CLIMATE CHANGE!!!
Slow news day? It’s called January…..
It’s what happens in winter, nothing new.
Ya self deluded nazis drooling?
The human race is stupid and unforgiving. People can die from this but all yal can say is “this is winter”. STFU! Everyone plz stay safe stay warm and stay away from BS like this
Did they catch anything? (Other than a buzz)
yes, it is winter, again, every year. boring news.
0:08 coldest temps in 3 whopping years. Not news. This is known as winter.
0:19 that’s why gloves were invented buddy
It’s Global cooling
A dangerous cold spell and you are asked that if you can to stay home. I think I’ll go ICE FISHING.
Global cooling is a bit rough these days.
Better take a good look over mid America , what are they spraying over us ? Climate control ? Population control ? Is this where are covid is coming from ? (Respiratory infections ? Infertility ? Floods ? ) Better start observing and asking questions , demanding answers . It’s very obvious sheeple !
Yup global warming sure is the biggest threat to mankind let’s keep wasting our hard earned money so the demonrats can waste it on their go green agenda when the weather is just the same as it’s always been. If this was the hottest day we’ve had in January in 3 years the liberal news stations would be “RECORD HIGH TEMPS HOTTEST IN 3 YEARS DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING AND COVID 19 GET YOUR BOOSTER” 😂
And this is why I’d rather buck up, earn more cash, and enjoy California
Thank you “Lester Holt.” ♥️
In Canada we call it Tuesday.
You’ll be fine.
It is winter. Its 17 degrees where i am. It’s normal? I still dont like it though. Idk or forget what the normal is for my area. But i think it’s below normal.
stupid Global WARMING! to blame here
GOLF as usual down in Augusta. What’s the white stuff?
Don’t forget your bread and milk, if there’s any at all to buy!
My buddy said last year in brainerd it got the 60 below that’s without the wind chill
haaaahaaaaaa funny A dangerous cold spell haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa
Oh no, not winter again!! 🙄🙄
😫
It’s winter 👍
Thankfully the UK and western Europe is protected by the gulf of Mexico jetstream meaning it keep us mild throught the Winter
Global warming from CO2. Need to FORCE population into Electric cars so the electric grid will crash and we’ll freeze to death in the global warming.
How stupid can we get?
Is this because climate change is not real?
It is indeed normal.
Talk all the $hit you like about CA, but it was 63 and sunny in my town yesterday and today.
Man! I miss snow (lives in Thailand), but not the broken, capped knuckles and chilly morning showers. But man, snowboarding would be fun (if allowed).
poor homeless animals….plz help.if u see strays
i think we’re just soft now, how about when we were exploring Antarctica about 100 years ago with no technology and worse clothing and way worse weather and temperatures
Praying for all.
Seen some homeless people trying to keep warm. Smh. Very sad
Cold WAR alert!!! 😆😫
F Cali.. It’s 6 dollars a gallon for gas and the worst rent
