Down to -50C: Russians freeze to death
as strongest-in-decades winter hits

RIA-Novosti, by Yakov Andreev

Original Article

Posted By:crimea river, 12/19/2012 7:54:08 PM

Russia is enduring its harshest winter in over 70 years, with temperatures plunging as low as -50 degrees Celsius. Dozens of people have already died, and almost 150 have been hospitalized. The country has not witnessed such a long cold spell since 1938, meteorologists said, with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees lower than the seasonal norm all over Russia. Across the country, 45 people have died due to the cold, and 266 have been taken to hospitals. In total, 542 people were injured due to the freezing temperatures,

There´s been a stationary and very strong (nearly 1060 hectopascals) high pressure system over the north of Russia this past week. When this type of system prevails, it direct winds clockwise down from the Arctic over Siberia and then westwards towards western Russia and eastern Europe in general.

When winds travel over land masses in winter, they become colder, not warmer, as land is cold - in fact, colder than water -during this season. In summer, the reverse occurs - ie land is warmer than water. Therefore, the same pressure system that is now bringing very cold weather to Russia would bring very hot weather if it occurred in summer.

To give the Russians credit, their scientists have been predicting a mini-ice-age for some time now. Something to do with the orbit of the Earth I think.

The emails from the corrupt CRU controlled by Phil Jones and corrupt Penn State´s Michael Mann were first posted on a Russian server in the Russian Far East.
One way they fudged the numbers for Gore´s fraudulent global warming was by not including many areas in Russia.
Soviet science was corrupted by Lysenko and they paid for it dearly with his bogus beliefs- some with their lives.
Prayers for the Russian people.

Coldest temp I´ve ever experienced was -20F with a -50F wind chill in Omaha, NE. Toasty warm in my Air Force issue cold weather parka.

Coldest I´ve ever been was water survival in Pensacola, FL on a sunny 60 degree day in December. I could NOT get warm after climbing out of P´cola Bay. Survival instructor didn´t even have any ´spirits´ to warm me. Can you believe that? ;-)

Yep, global warming is here.
Oops, I meant climate change is here.
Oh, global cooling is here.

Cold and snowy in Colorado today.
But last summer was hotter than normal, dry and windy.

So which is it? Warming or cooling.
It´s neither.
It´s typical weather variation.

Man has been recording weather records for about 150 years. Are we to draw conclusions for such a short period. The Earth has had weather for 5 billion years.

Baudette, Minnesota...on the north western part of the state gets pretty cold in the winter. I was stationed up there at a Radar site (692nd)in 1964 and we had 60 degrees BELOW ZERO for weeks at a time. Getting frostbite is a court martial offense just like a bad sunburn in the summer. Wear your parka, parka pants, bunny boots and gloves...only saw one case of frostbite and that was a case of foolishness. Everyone survived very nicely, went ice fishing, hunting, played hockey, curling, cross country skiing, etc...it was NOT the end of the world. It made us laugh that the weather guys never reported our temperatures, instead they went to warmer places like International Falls (far warmer) and maybe Duluth...weenies!

It is the IPCC´s fault nobody is ready for cold. Outside their bubble, many people are saying that the quiet Sun could mean a climate cold snap. Which is, like, duh, but they are managing to obscure this obvious connection. It is their fault these people died. And those homeless people in Poland (last year?)

I will be in Baudette in a couple weeks. Most of the time I will be in a nice warm ice house though.

Most of us will not experience such harsh winters, but with rising costs many will suffer because they cannot afford to pay for oil or higher electric bills.

Not true. Maybe taxpayers would suffer trying to come up with enough money to pay the fuel bill. They´d get a double whammy because their tax rates or fees would go up again to cover the cost of increased HEAP aid for the grifters.

Colombia has announced it no longer recognises the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice, in The Hague. The decision comes nine days after the ICJ redrew Colombia´s maritime border in the Caribbean in favour of Nicaragua. The court´s ruling ended a decades-long dispute over the San Andres islands. President Juan Manuel Santos said individual countries, and not courts of law, should fix their borders.

Families and victims of a mass shooting in 2009 at the Fort Hood military base in Texas filed a wrongful death suit on Monday against the U.S. government, the accused gunman and the estate of an alleged al Qaeda leader. The 148 plaintiffs are seeking damages and a ruling that the rampage was a terrorist attack. The finding would clear the way for them to receive benefits. Major Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, faces 13 charges of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder

Several Christian families have fled their homes in Egypt's Sinai peninsula after receiving death threats from suspected Islamist militants, officials and residents told AFP on Friday. Last week, flyers began circulating in the town of Rafah on the Gaza Strip border demanding that its tiny Coptic population move out, residents said. Officials at the local church informed the authorities of the threats, but no action was taken, they added. Days later, a shop belonging to one of the families was fired on with automatic rifles, witnesses said.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”

Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds.
