Is the polar ice cap moving our way?

This is Buffalo tonight!



With at least four confirmed fatalities and sixty inches of snow fall
with more to come. As you can see whole houses have been almost
buried in what could pass as an avalanche of snow fall. I thought it
was Alaska at first glance. But I just wanted to post this amazing pic for
those with interest and ask. Does ATS believe the the polar ice cap
is moving in a southerly direction by way of countries in the west?
i would say, there seems to be good reason to consider such.

That isn't ice, not like polar ice caps, but it certainly is a lot of snow.

Certainly feels like it!

That pic would be awesome with a couple AT-ATs shopped in in the background lol

There are going to be many collapsed roofs . I would be trying everything to reduce that weight off the roof .

I remember hearing stories about record snowfall in Buffalo, NY back in the 1970's when I was a kid.

I even remember a single panel cartoon in either MAD or CRACKED magazine showing the snow reaching the tops of sky scrapers.

While it was record breaking (and unfortunate for those who died), it's not something that has not happened before.

I stand corrected my good man.

The dawn of a new creeping ice age.

Those in the southern hemisphere might tell you different.

It's chilly down in Texas. I had to close the windows and sleep with a blanket.

Especially in Venezuela.

I know. I could only go barefoot and shirtless in the middle of the day.
I will endure.

We have a lot of snow here for November too. I think that somehow Mother Earth is punishing us for believing in global warming. Actually, I was taught that an ice age is the earth's response to global a global warming like situation.. That was back in the sixties though, the earth was forced to change it's ways to accommodate the new theories..

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Southern Hemisphere was much different from the Northern Hemisphere during the Last Glacial Maximum. It was warmer in the South than it was in the North due to the disruption in the Oceanic Conveyor Belt. The two polar vortexes both behave differently from each other. Right now, they are substantially different as the Northern vortex is splatting out like the blob and the Southern vortex is tightening.

Venezuela was actually a site for glaciation during the Ice Age. Most of South America was savanna, I think, with a pockets of forest and Africa was desert and grassland with pockets of rain forest. Compared to the Northern hemisphere with its tundras, taigas and glacial deserts, the South looked like paradise.

So where will the new California be? Id rather be dead than live somewhere it drops under 60•

a reply to: Eunuchorn
California? That place gets too cold for me.
You need to be in the tropics, but not too far south. Stay out of the doldrums, too hot there.
But hell, even Mauna Kea had a glacier during the last glacial period.

I feel for my people to the north, that is some brutal cold, but I would like to see how you guys handle a summer in the south...115 plus for weeks on end.
If you have to work outside, your brains are simmering in its own juices if you don't take measures to keep your core cooled.

It's cold and it's snowy, in 5 months it will be summer again and talks about ice age looks ridiculous.

While you are having cold weather, we still wait for temperatures below zero in north europe, we normally would be covered in snow and low temps by now, i guess it's only a localized iceage...

F#ck.

Yes Id like to leave CA but don't know where I should expat to.

I used to live in Buffalo. In fact, in the very area walloped by this killer-storm. And, in fact, long ago, once woke up to snow covering our first-floor windows (storm no where near as bad as this one.)

What you're seeing is the most fierce lake effect snow storm in anyone's memory or recorded weather.

Lake Erie had no ice coverage. Intense cold-winds wiped across that long-narrow lake, picking up moisture/snow, and dumping it south of Buffalo. This was more intense than ever before because the air was really cold, and the lake was well-over freezing temps.

If not for the lake, there would have been 2-4 inches of snow.
