Deadly polar vortex is hitting the US Midwest and East Coast this week

January 30, 2019 Jeremy Leave a comment

A polar vortex is an area of circulating cold air that ring the planet’s North and South poles. Sometimes that vortex destabilizes, sending surges of Arctic air south.

Windchill temperatures could hit minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit in Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and parts of Minnesota, far below average for this time of year.

In these temperatures, frostbite can strike within minutes.

If Arctic ice continues to melt, polar-vortex events could get more frequent.

From @themattcast : My colleague @RachelFrank_CT said it best: predicting ice is like hitting a moving target. The Nat'l Weather Service has adjusted it's best guess for significant ice, and I agree. Accum ice will lead to major outages/accidents today. pic.twitter.com/dVg0skdD6m

Passengers Grounded On United Flight For More Than 14 Hours In Freezing Cold

January 21, 2019 Jeremy 2 Comments

Passengers on board a United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Hong Kong had a lengthy stay on the tarmac after their flight was diverted to Goose Bay, Canada.

A medical emergency had originally caused the plane to divert. Once on the ground, the plane experienced mechanical issues.

Passengers were not allowed to leave the airplane because the Goose Bay Airport did not have a customs officer on duty during the overnight hours.

Overnight temperatures dropped to around 20 below zero. Passengers were finally able to get off the plane after 14 hours.

A state of emergency has been declared in Pennsylvania and New Jersey as the storm moves east.

AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said “Feet of snow, blizzard conditions, a significant build-up of ice, tree-breaking winds and plunging temperatures will close roads, cause flight cancellations and disrupt daily activities over a large part of the northeastern United States this weekend.”

[8:50 PM UPDATE] Snow will increase in intensity through late evening, with heavy snow continuing overnight. The worst is yet to come, with deteriorating travel conditions over the next few hours.
