Mars WARMER Than 14 States of America

www.dailymail.co.uk...

Time to move to Mars! Temperatures on the red planet were warmer on Thursday than fourteen states from Washington to Maine.
The daily high on Mars was 17.6 F, while most of the northern U.S. plunged into the single digits
Temperatures are expected to warm across the nation on Friday, as Winter Storm Gorgon fades out
However, the Great Lakes region may get up to two feet of snow, due to a blast of air which will create lake effect snow

That's what they're telling us, anyway. Who knows how much more interesting tidbits are lurker under that 'red' veil?!

Now if Elon could actually point his self-landing backwards rockets UP and surpass the firmament, we might have a chance of reaching Mars instead of wasting another 50 years NOT 're'visiting the Moon or elsewhere.

A summer day on Mars may get up to 70 degrees F

Sheesh that's even more temperate than Aruba weather!

As I sit here it is 33 F | 0 C, in Anchorage, AK, and snowing. It was actually raining this morning, at first, then it hit a creek/valley area which is typically colder and it turned to snow.

A quick check and it is about the same temp at McMurdo Station, Antarctica!!

Just crazy!

PS - Boeing will beat Musk to Mars! (Official 2018 prediction)

And of course the daily low was -100 F at night lol....

It has more oxygen than Michigan, too!

The Arctic is unstable. The cold air that was once kept stable at the polls is completely out of whack which means winters in the northern hemisphere will see some drastic ups and downs. The new normal will be abnormal.

Get used to the term arctic blast. oh so fun

It is like -5 to -10 here in Chicago past couple of days! 33F would feel like spring time about now.

The Arctic is unstable.

The only way the Arctic is ever going to be stable is if the Earth's axis of rotation stays perpendicular to its orbital path for a long time. And even then the size of the arctic ice masses would fluctuate over time due to changes in the shape of the earth's orbit and solar output.

I saw worse Arctic weather in 2002 and 1993-4, where I live -- Hudson Valley NY.

Go Cougars! Yeah I was a Hillside snob in HS.

Edit: it's ironic my pipes are frozen and its snowing here in the Deep South.

I am sure AK is not done with winter just yet.

We lucked out. The US National Cross Country Ski Championships started here today. Two days ago, I stepped on a patch of grass and sunk into mud! I heard that up north in Talkeetna, the river is actually flowing instead of being frozen over like it typically is this time of year.

I will take anything below freezing during winter!

Stay layered and have some deep dish for me!!

Hehehe!

I arrived after college so do not have the high school pride thing! So... go Cougars!

ETA x2: Frozen pipes are the worst! Don't set your house on fire unfreezing them!

Nice. Imagine being up there in shorts and a space helmet..

I don't know what it is currently, but at noon today it was 33°F here in Louisiana...

I've had my faucets dripping for 3 solid days...

It has nothing to do with the earth being perpendicular.



The arctic blasts we are getting are because the jet stream becomes loopy. The area covered by sea ice in the Arctic hit record lows through the winter of 2017. In March, when the sea ice hit its largest extent of the year, it was lower than it ever had been in the nearly 40-year satellite record. The consequences are destined to spill over into other parts of the globe, through changing atmospheric patterns, sea currents and feedback loops. Trying to ferret out whether this is due to some real change in the system or if it's just random is difficult. It may be due to 30, 40, almost 50 percent of the ice cover being lost as we continue to lose ice, It should become obvious.

It's 70 here.

Life is about choices.

So what happens as we start to enter another cooling period?

Who knows. I simply stated what is happening now.
