It's already one of the coldest and snowiest starts to the winter season in parts of the Northeast, Midwest and Plains, and we haven't finished November yet.
According to the Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index (AWSSI) from the Midwest Regional Climate Center, 74 cities from New England to the Plains and Rockies have seen an extreme season-to-date of cold and snow as of Nov. 27.
[...]
Cities categorized as having an extreme winter, so far, ranked in the 99th percentile of the index for Nov. 27.
A combination of persistent cold from the Northeast to the Plains and a pair of expansive winter storms, Avery and then Bruce, gave this winter season a fast start.
Solar cycle 24 was exceptionally weak and cycle 25 is shaping up to be similar. Some have predicted that, if the trend continues, Earth may experience a "mini ice age" soon due to increased cloud formation reflecting the warming light from the sun: https://astronomynow.com/2015/07/17/diminishing-solar-activity-may-bring-new-ice-age-by-2030/

So - you're ready to admit that global warming has been happening for thousands of years, with or without any input from man? How long ago did the ice age end? Of course, global warming started long before the end of the ice age. If it hadn't, the ice age wouldn't have ended! Yes, there truly are none so blind as he who will not see.
Meanwhile, the beavers are conquering the Alaskan northwest. https://www.alaskapublic.org/2018/07/11/beavers-are-moving-into-the-arctic-you-can-see-it-from-space/ [alaskapublic.org]

Truly, Runaway, Truly you are obtuse, in a rather baroque fashion. I have no idea what you are trying to say. Is this about your six-grade teacher and the "coming ice age" thing, again? Or do you just have a thing about beavers?

With a head start of a couple of millennia, you're safe; he still has some work to get to a rocaille level of obtuseness.
FTFY... a troubled childhood he had. Truly.
A bit more grown up than the infantile master buzz, with his fixation on boobs.
But now, who are you to cast value judgements on what keeps their mast red and raised?

Not sure whether you deserve +1 funny or +1 hilarious. Doesn't matter though, 'cause I can't find the hilarious button.

That will happen more and more, Runaway, as you mentally deteriorate right in front of God and everybody here on SolylentNews. I can understand how you cannot find the "Hilaryioius" button, your engrams having been fried by Faux News. And I can understand how you cannot find the "funny" button", since your sense of humor is conservative, which means you can only make funny by denigrating others, you lowlife hillbilly pig fucker! Oh, oh dear! Did I stoop to your level? And you cannot recognize it as such? You really need to just shut the fuck up, Runaway, your "opinions" are of no use to anyone but your own pathetic self esteem. And if you did not understand the parent post, I suggest you, 1. Learn Engllsh and 2. practice reading comprehension. But beyond that, just shut the fuck up, because your opinions are of no matter except that they are your opinions, and the only reason they are even that is that SoylentNews does not censor anyone, not matter how fucked-in-the-head, Batshit-crazy, or just plain khallow they are. Looking for the "Rural Arkansawian Hillbilly totally snookered by an Australian con-man and a New York Real Estate con artist. How dumb do you have to be to fall for BOTH of these, Runaway, you ignorant slut?
