Russia- COLDEST winter in 1,000 years on its way...Just Kidding! Strange Media Retraction *Video*

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before as it is a few weeks old, so my apologies in advance if it has...I was unable to find any record.

I find it very strange that Russia was warned of the coldest winter in 1000+ years, then a week later after gaining much public attention the statement was retracted....Here are the two news broadcasts:

Quite a turnaround! Can't wait until January to see how all these dire predictions pan out -- or not

Looks like it's going to get quite bad, we're getting quite a bit of snow here in Wales now. We've been getting our weather from the north for about 2-3 weeks instead of west from the gulf.

Agreed...it makes me wonder. I just hope the people of Europe are prepared if the worst case scenario does play out.

You know in that second video - it was really strange - all the caveats and nervousness. Then the grasping at straws with the Russian version of Groundhog Day BS ... somebody must have come down hard on them for giving the public a little too much truth ... after all it's not 100% ... heaven forbid the people get prepared a bit!

i'm sure everyone will rush to return all those space heaters they bought. no need for them now.
