Over the next several days, it will literally feel like it is mid-January in much of the central and eastern portions of the United States. Many areas will be hit by temperatures that are 30 degrees below normal, and heavy snow is expected in some areas of the Midwest. Unfortunately, this bitterly cold weather is coming at a very bad time for corn farmers. According to the latest USDA crop progress report, only 52 percent of the corn in the middle of the country has been harvested. So about half of the corn is still sitting out there, and these extraordinarily low temperatures could potentially be absolutely devastating. In essence, this cold front threatens to put an exclamation point on an absolutely horrific year for U.S. farmers. According to the National Weather Service, we could possibly see “170 potential daily record cold high temperatures” over the next three days…
“The National Weather Service is forecasting 170 potential daily record cold high temperatures Monday to Wednesday,” tweeted Weather Channel meteorologist Jonathan Erdman. “A little taste of January in November.”
The temperature nosedive will be a three-day process as a cold front charges across the central and eastern U.S. from Sunday into Tuesday.More

If this global warming keeps up, I’m going to freeze to death!!!
Maybe we will actually have SNOW CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
I think today was a foretaste of the brutal winter to come.
I've seen many climate projections on you tube, and most of them are in agreement that this will be a very brutal winter.
Projections for major blizzards and nor'easters for most of the north east as far south as the North Carolina coast starting in January through March.
The place you want to be is Southern Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California for warm weather.
Based on what is going on in California, would consider Arizona. RV capital in the winter months!
How have we ever survived??
say it aint so global warming is here to stay
If you saw the special on The weather channel. The cold we are experiencing is due to the extreme warm waters in the western Pacific ocean. It is pushing the jet stream to a much more Northerly position and as a result bringing down much colder air.
This has been evident now the past 3 years ( I.E. Polar vortex). And is a result of much warmer ocean temps.
With that said, it is not humans fault. The earth is warming. And would've with us here or not.
Maybe I can take the pontoons off the snowmobile this winter.
Al Gore must be so confused since his script is not being followed.
i think it's called winter for a reason.
6:32 - Correct. I remember the 70s when Shumaker Pond regularly froze over and we would ride our bikes accross the pond. Smart it wasn't, but possible it was!! Cycles baby - cycles!!
I never wear a coat or ever get cold when outside even when I'm at Antartica in -20° temps
We've had a mild winter for year's. Can't all be mild.
Mocking climate change. Such visionaries you folks are
Climate change is only a money maker for people like Al Gore and Hollywood. Even Me-Gain from the UK (Obama's) friend is for Climate change but are guilty of flying their personal jets to a Conference on Climate Change. What a joke. PS did you know some States have a right to dry law. Florida is one. It means you can hang your clothes on a clothes line in your back yard - no kidding. Also pertains to solar panels etc. Is Maryland a "right to dry" law.
