Anyone hear about this? That's just freaking nuts - and the cold weather is expected to slide eastward across the country. They're looking at the coldest winter in 20 years or more.

Yeah it is this same cold air that may try to slip over the poles and down into Canada and eventually the U.S. over the next few weeks. We may want to watch this one closely...

Very interesting article - shows you that snowfall is getting heavier, on average.

I'll save the article.
