A dangerous Arctic blast continued sweeping across the US Monday, bringing below-freezing temperatures to more than three-quarters of the country and leaving at least four people dead – including a woman in Oregon who was killed when a tree toppled onto her RV. The bone-chilling cold was expected to set record-low temperatures Monday and Tuesday from Oregon to Mississippi — about 79% of the country — and threaten an NFL playoff game and the Iowa caucuses. Lashing winds and a slushy-like mix of snow and ice brought down some 100 trees over the weekend in a community just south of Portland, Oregon

Record cold temperatures are really impressive today. Part of the reason is the good little commies in government agencies, probably hired during hussein's regime, have been steadfastly getting rid of temperature records from 80, 90, 100 years and prior. Why would they do that? Well, they've just figured out many of those records are unreliable. Did anyone guess which records are overwhelmingly unreliable? Why, the colder ones of course! Gotta cool the past to make it look warmer now. Wink, wink.

Global cooling, if it happens, will be a whole lot worse than any global warming that may happen.
Simple rule for the idiots on the left....warm is GOOD, cold is BAD.
It has been well below zero here in eastern Kansas for several days. Other than running up our heating bills and bundling up a lot to go out, we're OK. Not my favorite time of year.

I had read back in the Fall that because it's an el nino year, we would be experiencing colder weather than usual. It's here. -8 yesterday and -6 today in east central Missouri. 64 days until Spring. I'm counting the days.

The stupidity of the climate change green movement is astounding. They have wasted trillions of dollars with nothing gained. Someday there will be mountains of trashed wind blades and solar panels as a reminder of this failed nonsense. Guess what? It can get real cold in the winter and real hot in the summer. It’s called the sun.

Here in Denver, we hit our high for the day (1 degree) two hours ago. It is now four below zero and will remain there for the rest of the day. We've been in the single digits since Friday. Tomorrow it should go slightly above freezing.

The Texas power grid was saved early Sunday evening by the actions of hundreds of thousands of Texans who turned off their televisions in disgust as the Dallas Cowboys were getting trounced by my Green Bay Packers (full disclosure: I am a member of the ownership group of the Grern Bay Packers, Inc.).

I was watching a Vivek town hall meeting in Iowa and saw a group of highschool/college youths screaming at Vivek while holding banners, "Vivek is a liar, the earth is on fire". Mind you the temperature in Iowa was -25 degrees at the time. Yeah, the earth is on fire. Oh, the irony.

I feel sorry for the animals, from livestock to pets left outside to strays with nowhere to go. And say what you want about California, but it's 65 and sunny in San Diego County today. Stay warm, everyone.

#11. I have been cold because it hasn't been getting up to 70 for a few days now, 65 just doesn't do it for me.

Good thing for global warming. What would it be like if this were not happening?

I remember a winter in Louisiana when it got so cold the natural gas in the lines froze. I was little bitty, I'm in my 70's now, so mama dressed us warmly and we walked to a friend's house down the street because they had electric heat. No clue what year, likely very early '50's, but I've never heard of that happening again.

And that's why they had to change the alarmist nomenclature from global warming to climate change.
