Who else prefers cold weather over hot weather? Or it it just me?
I'm somewhat the opposite, but the biggest problem is that electronics MASSIVELY (and quickly) overheat. 😕 Personally, I think that is why electronics were probably NOT crafted by ancient, intelligent, technologically advanced sentients; temperatures above ground would have made it implausible.
I do, however, wonder what an UNDERGROUND system of electronics would be like. Deep enough where the temperatures were almost always consistent.
whatever my situation and current interests are at the time dictate that, ive gone both ways many times.
I prefer colder weather over hot. I am constantly worried about global warming, so this makes me feel somewhat better.
Yep. Same
Absofucking lutely
When I lived in Iceland in the 1980's, we experienced a storm that could be described as an arctic hurricane. Winds were over 100 mph and it was total whiteout conditions.
That sounds like it has to be the absolute nastiest conditions possible. We will get 40-50 mph gusts here when the temps are below freezing and it is bad enough, can't even imagine 100mph with the cold.
Sounds like Labrador weather in eastern Canada
Basically what you'd get in a storm atop a mountain, but at a lower level. I'd gotten up with the cable gondola and i made 10 steps from the front door of the structure. And it was gone. Nothing but white, of the same shade everywhere. And that was with my goggles on. Without them, you wouldn't even be able to see anything because the ice-y snow would bite your eyes and made you shut them instantly.
@@asertaI’d be too afraid to leave and get lost LOL
Do you want a medal for it?
I’m shocked that you didn’t include the 2021 Texas Freeze. This was one of the most extreme examples of the subzero temperatures surging so far south due to a buckle in the jet stream that lasted for a week. Hundreds of people died in this. Snow and ice was on the Texas beaches as well.
That was a ferocious winter- and it can happen again.
I'm just south of Dallas and that week was bad. Hell even Mexico got snow and ice off that storm.
on the bright side i had an amazing white winter in the desert and my dog god to enjoy the snow
I live in the UK I'm getting winter ready early buying all winter essentials Extra blankets duvet thermal under clothing replacing curtains hanging curtains over doors even considering wall rugs cause when the cold hits it hits house is so cold price of electricity gas is so high can only have heating on 3 hours a day can't have a coal fire it's not allowed death rates were up 13,% last year frew people dying due to cost of living not affording heating food thing's like this are kept out of the media news .
He works for Big Ice Storm inc., and they don’t want you to know about the Texas freeze because the bad PR. The victors write the history books.
12:02 even -22C is something you can prepare for. Major cities in Canada like Edmonton and Winnipeg get those all the time during the winter.
In winter 2021-2022, -22C temperatures happened
64 times in Winnipeg (called Winterpeg for a reason)
33 times in Edmonton
25 times in Quebec City
24 times in Calgary
16 times in Ottawa
8 times in Montreal
0 times in Toronto (although it reached -21C three times)
0 times in Vancouver (the mildest big Canadian city, only reached -14C that year)
However, the UK doesn't normally have a reason to prepare for such cold, so it... doesn't... and pays the consequences on the rare occasions that it does.
I'm Romanian, live in Transilvania, in Covansna county. We had very cold weather. -43 Celsius was the coldest my dad lived trough, but -22C was very common when I grew up. In the last decade the weather become warmer tho, snow doesn't fall that often now.
@@pepita2437 My family is from Hungary and it seems to be similar. More and more people are growing figs there as the climate is becoming pseudo-Mediterranean.
In my part of Canada, winters seem to be getting milder too. This winter, we still haven't had any -10C temperatures in February or December, only for a week in the middle of January. Normally we would get -10C and -20C temperatures every week from about Dec 10 to Mar 10.
Interestingly, the summers haven't changed much. In 2023, the hottest day was only 30C.
@@Lochness19 At least we don't have to pay so much for heating. T_T
Yesterday was +15C, it was insane. Winters are getting milder here too. But it happened in the last 4 years that most of the winter cold/snow arrived around march, and there were snow fallings an colds in April (which is not normal) A few years back, it was -1C in June 1th, which was insane.
The summers are the same here too, the temperature rarely go up above 27C. Around 30-32 is considered to be very hot. We usually get red alerts for heat in those cases. :)
Down in Tasmania we got hit by a southern polar vortex about 4 years ago. It led to the first major snowfalls in northern Tasmania since the 1960's. Pretty bizarre stuff.
i need ur help, i have video evidence of thr truth
Yep lived in Launceston in 08-10. Cold af. I have photos from my dad of the time it snowed a few years ago. Strange to see and now I know why it doesn't snow there compared to more south regions in America.
We had some snow here in Brazil a few years back. Snow is rare as hen teeth here in Brazil
You`ll struggle. King of the North. Cold up here. Brrrr.
@@treeman101 if your saying the government had a hand in the polar vortex hitting certain areas.. your probably right. conspiracy theories have been prove to be true
On a cold winter night, years ago, there was a full moon backlighting these incredible high altitude clouds. They were moving across the sky at a ridiculous pace─it had to be over 100MPH. The air was so clear and crisp that the moon lit up the entire sky, so the clouds were plain to see across a wide field of view, only growing darker at the edges as I looked farther away from the light source. These clouds were in the jet stream of a weak polar vortex that had swooped down into the southern United States in the form of a cold front. After the storms at the head of the front blew through, dank humidity was replaced with a cool crispness that can only be properly described as cleansing. Like a new lease on life. I still remember looking up at the sky like it was something out of a sci-fi movie. The effect was mesmerizing. And memorable.
Unrelated to the polar vortex, here is my most vivid weather memory.
On a hot summer night, I could see a small area in the distant sky flashing with more lightning than I had ever seen.
Being out on a bicycle ride, I decided to get the heck home.
For a couple hours, nothing. I figured the storm had either fizzled or had never been on course for my area.
Finally, it arrived with all the thunder and lightning still relentless. Having been thrilled, terrified, and amazed, I still scan the West for distant super cells, hoping I can find one approaching and be lucky enough to have the time to watch it grow larger and brighter, then audible, finally, imminent!
You both! Are you going to write a sci-fi novel already? please? 😊😅
The wind began to pick up as the sky turned a menacing shade of dark green.
Lightning flashed angrily in the distance as peals of thunder echoed across the hills.
A lone figure, dark and foreboding, seemingly unhindered by nature's elements, approached almost leisurely, as if each of his black clad foot steps were slowly counting down towards some dreadfully imminent finality.
As I watched, transfixed in horror, I saw his crooked grin, and in his clutched fist swung the keys to the abyss.
Wow…are you an author?
"Looks like we've got ourselves a writer"

As above, so below. The Oceans behave much the same way and exert their extreme effects on the weather above them.
Fantastic presentation. Thanks!
Scientists don't get enough credit for the work they do. This information and how it came together is jaw dropping. Respect to all the scientists in the world. ✌️☘️
They are still people. I work in a STEM field and am always blown away by the amount of research that gets stolen and steps they take to sabotage each other. 99% of them are not deserving of the religious devotion people seem to be giving them.
@@Andrew-lq2qyit is not about individuals but evidence based research. If individuals do not meet the standard their work will end up being tested by others to find if it is replicate. The system is not perfect but it's self correcting over time.
Well at elast those scientist who actually do research and not basing a manufactured climate change claim on half assed research.
@@unnf9971 more than 90% of climate scientists agree on climate change and global warming. It is which model of climate change is proving most accurate that is being worked on. Un fortunately the moderate slow models seem to be underestimating the cha ges we are already seeing. Storms floods fires ice melt sea level rise.

I learned of this many years ago while studying electrical refrigeration. The vortex is exactly what is used in supermarket refrigerators that are permanently open.
Ahhh I wondered how they worked...
Absolutely !
Really? Now I'm curious. Give you a dollar to expand on that.
That’s why is freezing cold inside but you bark a wall of warm air. 😂😂😂😂
Wikipedia ‘vortex’ (decent image and description) and imagine a vent at the front (usually the bottom and/or top) of the fridge blowing cold air towards the produce. The speed, angle etc creates a vortex within the fridge walls and the constant flow keeps the cool air circulating inside while keeping a barrier for the warmer outside air in the aisle
Living in Eastern Finland right now I can feel the polar vortex for sure. November with -21C temperatures today, -25C in the morning in some places.
Another tax incoming. Cooling tax i guess it will stop the freeze.
In my opinion I suspect that this will pay for the Chem trail in the sky

The regrettable element of this video is - its ideological adherence to European-socialist units-of-measure. 400km doesn't mean anything to me. -50degrees-Centigrate?

On the night between February 14th and 15th, 2021, Austin and other central Texas cities had one of their biggest snowfalls ever and coldest morning lows ever. We were shut down for five days as that is how long the snow stayed around. We had 8 inches of snow.
Then at the beginning of February 2023, Austin had one of its worst icestorms ever. Most of Austin lost electricity because of the heavy ice on trees and power lines. Luckily, my neighborhood had no power outages but other neighborhoods had no electricity for over a week.
Yes and it was terrible. Too bad we didn't have a power grid that could handle it!
Put solar panels on your house, Austin gets 300 days of sun annually.
@@violinmaker4271 A lot of people can't afford solar panels, or battery storage they'd need to have for when it gets cloudy, as solar panels only produce about 5-10% when it's cloudy, or in this case during a snow or ice storm.
All we got in Houston was 2 inches of ice storms for 5 days...down to negative 5. No snow this time. Too low of an elevation and sea salt.
It is so funny to me being from northern Michigan the stuff that shut you down for a week literally happens like every week minimum for a few months straight here 😂
It’s crazy to think about how much places get affected from something like colder temperatures than usual. Temperatures in the -20’s Celsius are average-cold winter days in Canada. Alternatively, the +20’s are the average summer temperatures as well.
Scotland getting shut down because of -22C is so cute.
Average-cold winter days on the east coast and prairies maybe, meanwhile it hits -5 on the west coast and it feels like everyone loses their minds.
I live in Montreal, and winter is very long and rough. Summer is too short. I love my country, but i hate the weather.

I will never ever forget the South Texas Christmas of 2004. When it began snowing on Christmas Eve into Christmas morning to levels never seen before in this part of the world, it was indeed a historical event. The last thing you thought about was being cold. Christmas morning, we were making snow angels. It was an absolute meteorological miracle all the way from El Campo in Wharton County to Victoria and Corpus Christi, Tx. This snowfall produced memories that will last a lifetime. Cities with the most snow were Alice, Beeville, Bay City, Corpus Christi, El Campo, Goliad, Hebbronville, Lake Jackson, Port Lavaca, Port O'Connor, Rockport, Sinton and Victoria. The Best Christmas ever!!!! We want that again. I live in El Campo. Measured snowfall was 7 inches at the time.
I think I was 13 when this happened and I had no idea what was happening until my parents told me “that’s snow falling “. So cool
I remember this morning, I was living in Lolita, TX with my grandparents and siblings. We stayed up all night watching the snow fall and played all day in it the next. I feel like we got at least 13 inches of snow as it was very close to my knee at the time. A memory I’ll never forget.

I’m obviously in love with your space videos, but with the current pace of space research, there’s really only so much to talk about. In lieu of this, I’m thrilled you’ve found other types of topics to make videos about. You’re an incredible video maker, and you should never stop.

Yeah, well… literally the only truly relevant/applicable part of ALL of space research has been satellites basically lol, and those are still in our orbit. Give it 100 more years and maybe it’ll be relevant, but we have burned so much money just to learn a bunch of “neat Reddit post” type info that has NO BEARING on our lives, and probably is inaccurate lol.

l am from western PA and i remember that we had a blizzard in 91 94 and 1999 all of them had temp’s around 20 below zero. we have not had any snow hardly since. when i was a kid in the 70s it was cold from october to march. we have had mild winter weather for years now and we have ticks and other things that we never had before because they are able to survive the winter weather here.
l hope that we go back to normal and get snow to bring up the water table and get rid of the bugs that don’t belong here
Congratulations explaining the jet stream this manner has given me a better understanding of our world and how it functions thank you for that ;-)
Laughs in Swedish as temps around -32C is not all too uncommon. But honestly, dress up. It's easier to feel warm in good insulation and extreme temps like -20/-30 than -5/-10 as the air becomes dryer, which can cause its own problems if you are not careful.
Oh yess, good point, the dry cold air can ruin your skin when exposed, even if you are not currently getting any real temperature damage, like freezing! Keep your skin, and yourself generally, insulated and hydrated
Laughs in canadian* try -45° for normal jan/feb temps
Same here in Northern Canada, -40 used to be common in the winter, not seen in the last 3. I only had to wear a parka for a bit over a week last winter. Heavy hoody worked well, for the rest of the time. Parka = -35C.
@@KamielDV2 As a Swede, I know that very well. Every winter my hands gets fucked and sometimes bleed due to its dryness.
I come from a vert temperate part of the world where it never gets below freezing and high summer seldom exceeds 30 Celsius.
A few years back I spent a couple of weeks for work on the US eastern seaboard during February. Coldest it got was minus 18 but it was the dryness that bothered me, especially my nose. Every night before bed I would run the bathroom shower in the hotel room full hot for half an hour to steam up the room. This helped, pleased I wasn’t paying for the water heating.
I was in the UK during the 2009 and 2010 polar vortex, living down on the south coast where it rarely snows. There was over a foot of snow in the streets and on top of cars. London itself shut down for a few days and even Heathrow cancelled all flights for a day causing massive disruption.
I live on the Isle of man and in some parts on the west coast we had 9 feet of snow. If you Google " isle of man police van snow " you'll see what I mean!

@@rjones6219oh yeah?
How about blizzard of 78’ here in Ohio of the United States Of America?
There were snow that was as high as the 2nd story in some areas and other areas you couldn’t even see the rooftops of homes.
I’m on the Canadian west coast and it’s usually like a northern version of L.A nice and warm but yea 2019 was pretty crazy! We got around -24c at night only going as high as -12c during the day. The wind would whip all day and cut through your clothes and body warmth like you’re a ghost as it passed right through you. A small sudden cold front hits NA later this week.. we go from a high/low of 8c/3c to suddenly being -10/-7 for the foreseeable future
Fantastic teaching....Thank you very much for this well explained presentation.
i can still recall the winter of 2013/2014, because here near detroit it was the coldest i have ever experienced! I genuinely hope that we never see a repeat of that again.
I remember that winter in Toronto... February was freaking cold!
im in ohio, i remember that year, nobodies cars could start
@@petermcateer1354 yes! february was an awful month here as well. i believe the high for the month if i recall correctly was -13C!! and the first time we saw rain was in May as well.
I live in North Central Washington, right on the US/CA border, at 4,000'. This winter, we saw -36F (-37.7C). We still had three feet of snow in April. I can attest to the, "polar vortex is never far away" part.
I live in labrador,the storm of 82,when it hit temps went down to -100c,people had to abandon their homes,my family included,most of the town had to evacuate to a school that had back up power,when it was over alot of homes were completely buried,fish tanks frozen solid,etc
I'm trying to research this... Can you please share more anecdotes on this?
@Rusikulya if u google labrador city storm of 82 it'll give u more details,I meant to say also that with the windchill it went down to -100°c
We're used to -35 to -50c here in Alberta Canada. Winters can be brutal here. I'll take summer anytime preferably. 😊
I love your content Alex. In 2009 / 2010, we drove from Cambridge to Oxford to collect our son for the winter holidays. It normally takes maybe an hour and 3/ 4, on this occasion it took us 8 hours to drive the entire way, there and back. It was fairly terrifying, I packed sleeping bags, duvets, pillows, hot soup, coffee and plenty of snacks. My husband thought that I was crazy. There were times we were travelling no more than 20 mph. We stuck to the main roads, so if we broke down or got stuck, emergency vehicles could find us. When we got back, all in one piece, warm, and alive. My husband no longer thought that I was barmy. Even to this day , it was the most challenging, and scariest drive I've ever had to share.😮
I live in the Canadian prairies and in the winter I never leave the city without full emergency supplies. If it's -25 and the car breaks down it doesn't take long to freeze. I even bring a warm winter jacket if I'm driving to an underground parking lot in the city in case the car breaks down and I have to sit there for an hour waiting for a tow truck.
you live in England and acting like you know extreme weather. what you dealt with with 15 years ago canadians deal with daily.
On a cross Canada trip in February, I passed through Calgary in the morning and it was plus 10 degrees C. Eight hours later, and dark, my car broke down in minus 30 degrees, then add a whipping merciless wind. The lights of Regina on the horizon - no antifreeze in the gas tank. The first car I hailed stopped, he took me to the closest gas station and there the next guy took me in his truck to get the car started. I came away with minor frostbite on my thumb because a drop of petrol landed on it. An hour later I was in a heated swimming pool in a hotel, looking out the window at the blowing frigid landscape. This in not normal, and yet it is. I have a dozen similar stories. The winter is a major character in every Canadian's most memorable times.
@@MrCanadatom thank goodness somebody helped you. I know that drive and it can be no joke if you get caught at the wrong time of day in the wrong place in the wrong season.
You're describing every road trip every day of the year in Los Angeles. Except for the cold...and the fact that you made it all the way up to the brisk speed of 20MPH.
The polar winds can slip and drop arctic air down lower at any time. I remember the winters of the 1970s where we had three bad blizzards in Michigan!
71,2,3, were the coldest winters ever recorded, so much so the ussr was, budgeting to cover their railsystems,
Canada would have followed suit, the cause was fascinating
Yes I remember the early 70’s we moved from Ottawa to the Ottawa valley Killaloe area and we needed to get a bulldozer twice to open our road up it was nothing seeing-45 and snow up to your waist by Christmas.
@@miketomasini346 I have been watching the winters, as we have been very lucky that the jet stream stays further North than it used to.
Back in the 1920s and 30s, there were times that we had mini ice age winters that were also very bad for us, but that was considered normal!
Thanks for the heads up 😊
Wow, this information was eye-opening!! This fills in a few gaps in my understanding of our world. I think we’re currently in the midst of such a polar vortex here in Colorado, January 2024. Brrrr!!

We need a balloon that can deflate, fill itself with air again, and heat the air to rise or fall depending what you are looking for in the atmosphere. Mostly trying to stay in the jet streams. Put a huge light in it to warn other craft, Even the ones that are just visiting.

This was great. It makes sense. Ive enjoyed it quite a bit.
Superb explanation, thank you very much.
Very well done video. So many explanations stop at the Hadley and polar cells without explaining why they generate a jet stream, and in turn why that jet stream contains cold air masses. This video makes no such omissions.

I'd think it's fairly obvious why the antarctic jet stream is so stable: it exists in the ocean too! Up north there's too much land in the way but down there the antarctic ocean is able to spin around Antarctica just like the jet stream and I'm sure that has a reinforcing feedback loop which is what keeps it so stable.

I've lived through the polar vortex. It sucks. At one point my door froze to the frame, another night it somehow rained and then everything froze and I had to crawl home on my hands and knees to get home without slipping. Literally everything had ice on it. Cars, power lines, the grass, the sidewalks, EVERYTHING.
Imagine if that would be constant
Watching this video because I live on one of Lake Superior's Bays. Normally we get 300-500cm of snow a season and the Bay freezes enough to drive a full size bus across for school. This year we got maybe a total of 100cm that disappeared quickly and the Bay was open water almost the whole season. weirdest weather we have had my whole life.
A great video, though I am very surprised you didn't mention The Roaring Forties. It is fascinating to see it in effect on the models you use, 9:48 especially.
I remember that Winter of 2009 very well. My friends and I went sledging on a golf course one evening. We took hot mulled wine in two thermos' and a bottle of scotch. When we got back to our car at perhaps 10pm we realised it had frozen solid shut and the electrics wouldn't allow us to open the doors anyway. We walked for 45 minutes to an hour to my friends house in the pitch dark completely out of booze, utterly freezing, but laughing and joking at our misery.
When his mother opened the door to us she gave us the absolute bollocking of a lifetime, thinking we'd all died on the hills up there. It was -20'C and the coldest place in Britain that night.
Thank god for good friendships, worried mother's, and even more so, The Lash! 🍷❄
Back in the 70's we just called it winter.
😂
🤦 obviously you didn't study meteorology when you were a kid.
The jet stream is being disrupted with more extreme swings because the warming is faster in the arctic than towards the south causing a smoother temperature gradient. This causes many changes including snowstorms in spring or summer like the one that hit Texas a few years ago. Hence why Climate Change is the general term and Global Warming is the overall long term aspect of that change.
That's what I'm saying so much colder in the 70s here in Southeastern Pennsylvania
@@robertlight4647 I'm in Northwest Pennsylvania. My mom had pics of the snow 3/4ths as high as the telephone poles in '77.

WOW, now that info was truly interesting. In 1976 I was a Jr in high school and the ONLY ever recorded Snow Fall in West Palm Beach occurred. Barely s light covering on the ground. Having been a paperboy over those years from 14-17 I will never forget the blistering cold mornings @ 4AM riding a bicycle throwin over 200 papers a day. And then POOF it vanished and we returned to not so cold winters again. NOW, I understand WHY that happened more clearly.
I started learning about these subjects due to my "world building" for my fictional story. It's been a eye opening rabbit hole of ultimately leading to learning about the "Ice Age Cycles" of Earth and its effects on human/animal migration and geological formations. All because i wanted to learn more about "Air Ships".
Can i ask what's it about?
@@yonaguy6978 Most stories are about the underdogs but i like telling stories about seasoned veterans. Simplified, its about the return of a legendary "fictional" historical figure far into his planets future. Has elements of a power fantasy but his return sparks an arms race that doesn't end well for everyone, especially the main characters.
Great video thankyou Alex! I very much appreciate the time you put into bringing us such interesting and enlightening content in an easy-to-understand form.
Thanks Alex, I truly enjoyed this video..
Winters in Texas beats the extreme summer heat any day. No one can ever change my mind. If I loved hot weather, I would be in Arizona. Sadly, with the global warming, Texas may be getting closer and closer to Arizona temps. It is extremely hot this summer.
From Canada, it's interesting to read the comments from temperate regions. There's a certain degree of preparation you can do as an individual, but if your infrastructure wasn't designed for the temperatures then there really isn't much you can do.
I go to the mall and watch movies when it hits 25 here. But now, it's 112 and feels just fine by my pool.
As a Canadian, I've lived through a couple of these myself. For me it's not THAT bad since I prefer the cold and I have good winter gear. It's the increasingly hot summers that are getting to me...
Side note, I've love to see a video all about "strange polar vortexes and weather patterns on other worlds."
As soon as someone says "increasingly hot summers" I know we have gone through the looking glass.
@@harryvanhoo7235 "Through a Mirror Darkly," one might say.
@@AceSpadeThePikachuYou’re lucky to have nice summers unlike those here in Texas.
@@FastGuy1 Even the summers here are too warm for me...
Though be careful what you wish for. Remember that snow storm you had a couple years ago? Now imagine that every day for six months straight every year, and temperatures dropping to the point where Celsius and Fahrenheit synchronize.
I may prefer the cold but I'm not too fond of having to shovel several feet of snow off the driveway every day for months in a row.
@@AceSpadeThePikachu Preach. I'm a big baby when it gets over 30 (90 F) and 40 (>100F) is unbearable if you aren't at a lake. -40 aint that bad in comparison though, just relax indoors. I also prefer being cold, so I don't mind the stints running between indoor spaces lol
Excellent “awareness info”-love our beautiful planet!🥰
Growing up in southern Newyork I remember amazing snowstorms and school closings. But after like 1999, I hardly remember a real 2-3foot storm. It's a shame. The world stands still when it snows n it's needed to truly relax the soul.
This was an absolutely fascinating video. So well presented and explained. I learned more about the weather in this video than I have in all my 41 years of life. Thank you for this incredible video.
I lived in a tent 2008-2009, then in a unheated Renault Kangoo until 2010. Those winters were cold, but the hardest thing was the fall. In November nothing dries and the only way to keep dry is to never get wet. In the winter, with temperatures down to -25C it was not really a problem. Snow is naturally dry and if some got into the tent I could just brush it out. Also, having a ample supply of snow for cooking and personal hygiene is luxury. No water needed to be hauled around. After I cycled the entire coast of Norway and back. 7300km tat I trained for the two years before. Guess if I had a good cooking and camping routine?
Invite me next time bro!! You could likely use some back up
Excellent! Many thanks. I finally learned why the Ferrel cells behave as they do, and of course many other things about the wonderfully unique planet we inhabit, at least for now, which will not be a very large time on planetary time scales.
Excellent video as always! Thank you
A very good explanation with easy to understand similes to grasp the concepts. Excellent, informative and succinct.
*laughs in wyoming* -22°C, that’s what I call spring. It got to -52°C at my house this last winter.
I've seen -45 F with a -96 F winchill here in WY also. I had to walk someplace in that. It hurt. Those mountain ranges are like a funnel for that cold air from ther North. Not to mention the radiation into outer space caused by our arid climate.
Lol, it's like when people complain about 6" of snow and freak out and close everything down, us folks here in Buffalo, NY have to have a good laugh in between shoveling 6 feet out of our driveways 😂. Nothing closes here unless there is at least several feet, or a complete whiteout. I call a foot and a half a "light snowstorm"...
@@digitalfootballer9032 it snowed almost 4 feet in 24 hours not too far from where I live, we ended up shutting the road down for 48 hours to clear all the snow but it’s just another snow storm. The thing that really kicks our butts in the winter is the fact that we are considered America’s windtunnel. It’s not uncommon for winds to kick up over 80 mph. Up in Cody last winter, wind was clocked at 103 miles an hour.
@@OceanusHelios I’ve been outside while working on my semi in some -60°F weather and it’s not pleasant. The folks who live in Wyoming are just built different, and you have to be to handle such brutal winters.
yeap, i remember it well, The coldest snowiest winter day i ever spent in southern Arizona ? Was a warm summer afternoon up in Alaska!
Thx❗️very well explained‼️ very nice illustrations.
I absolutely LOVE how you explained the Coriolis Force
Since qualifying for my pilots licence back in the 70's weather has been a fascination to me & accordingly it greatly annoys me when some of the uninformed public try to pin extremes of weather events on one particular cause, thank you for a very well explained global weather.
Sure, getting a pilots licence 55 years ago and a fascination uniquely qualifies you. I will stick with the majority scientist opinion.
@@robd8577🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@robd8577 The brainwashing is so thick that a 15-minute video explaining earth's ancient climate dynamics cannot be tolerated if it doesn't bow to climate religion. Piss off, we're learning objective truth over here.
@@robd8577
Well, if you had the slightest clue about radiation physics then you might question things a little differently. That or common sense.
Good luck to you.
yeah, the problem being that the weather or climate has ceased to be a scientific phenomenon, but has become, instead, a political force, to be used to further the agenda of all sorts of groups and individuals, who know nothing about science or the climate.
As a pilot, I respect your experience and knowledge.
We haven’t had a cold winter in over 20 years in Canada and are looking forward to one
fascinating stuff, great video 😊
This is excellent! Thank you. Now I want to see a vid by you explaining how the magneosphere influences the polar vortex with extrapolations of it's current weakening and pole reversal/excursion effects added. Again great work!
Dude thank you for doing some Geoscience. It’s nice to my science get some airtime, and the NPV topic is a fascinating one indeed! Keep up the good work!
"One of the most important findings that climate scientists have come up with in the last several decades is that Earth's climate changes in cycles and these cycles are driven by changes in Earth's orbit around the Sun not in changes in the strength of the Sun but changes in the orbit." ~Dr. Ruddiman, University of Virginia.
This is like phd level research per video with incredible graphics & narration. thank you
More like Wikipedia level research with clickbait title.
The late 1970's early 80's was the coldest period of life I ever lived. Christmas 1982 was certainly a snow packed cold day with temperatures around -20 as a high. The snows were heavy and often. Then in 1983, that cold spell ended seemingly with a summer that was in the 90's often.
yes and that was shortly after the "global warming" fad started and all that contradictory cold forced them to change it to "climate change" just so they could always have an excuse.
I remember that. -20 degrees C in southern England. That really was cold .
That's been every year of my life. Haha. I think there was 20 ft or so of snow over the winter this year. Was in a place with less snow before but -20F for weeks every year. Usually gets to -40 a couple days.
This explanation is great! It explains what the polar vortex is, and why it happens. Great job!
Yeah, I did not find the bit where he goes into what the polar vortex will do to the Earth in the next decade. Click bait methinks?
@@emotown1 nope. Think about what he is talking about. Then go read about what a polar vortex is.
my first trip to chicago during polar vortex, when I stepped out of the airport it was like 14-F in a blazing snowstorm ... I saw some some locals wearing t-shirt and shorts.. 😅
This part Christmas it was -20° in the Great Lakes regions. The extremes keep coming as this summer proves to be the hottest in thousands of years. At this point, all we can do is adapt and survive
Cool video bro, always learning something totally new I never heard of before and I am not new to science stuff. Awesome.
😊
i need ur help, i have video evidence of thr truth
"Cool" 😂 downright chilly, in fact
I've experienced an unstable polar vortex before, but I never got this solid an explanation of what it is.
Loved it Alex!
Fascinating, thank you so much!! 😲I had heard of a similar circular oceanic current around the South pole, and the circumglobal jetstreams, but had no idea about these more complex atmospheric phenomena?
P.S. the visualizations of the wind & temp currents were super-helpful, and explain a whole lot about our prevailing weather conditions down here near Antarctica...
Greetings from Sweden!
Keep up the great work with this channel!
Would love longer format sleep content.
“Like a crowd of schoolchildren being released into an open field”
It’s the unsolicited love of humanity in an astronomy and planetary science video for me ❤
Very well explained. interesting..
Now ...can you make a flatearter version as well of this vid
This is an interesting topic . Knowledge is power .
