Bitter cold will continue to have a firm grip on eastern Asia through at least this weekend, forcing residents to bundle up. This will also lead to snow opportunities.

A mild autumn and start to December came to a bone-chilling end as bitterly cold air reached Beijing and northeast China on Thursday.

The cold air quickly pressed southward, encompassing much of eastern China and the Korean Peninsula by Friday.

Friday was one of Beijing's coldest December days on record as temperatures were held to just shy of 6 below zero Celsius (21 F). Biting winds created dangerously lower AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures of 18 below zero C (zero F).


Comment: Earlier during the same week: Temperatures plunged to minus 40 degrees and lower in China's northeast prompting unprecedented weather warning

crop damage
Farmers in Muskingum and Coshocton counties are having issues harvesting their crops.

With the consistently wet weather, some farmers are still in the process of harvesting their produce, particularly soybeans.

"Normally Thanksgiving is late, but with all this moisture, we haven't been able to get it done," said Eric Reed, who works at Bell Farms in Muskingum County.

"This is by far the latest we've ever been still harvesting," said Tyler Basham, who grows corn and soybeans in New Concord. "It's been so wet, we haven't been able to get them."

'Cannons': Strange booming sounds heard in Southeastern, Pennsylvania

YouTuber 'Christine Diamond' uploaded video of 'crazy sounds' she heard in the skies of Delaware County, Pennsylvania on December 2, 2018.

'Christine' notes:
People around here keep insisting it was a firework show in the next town. However the sound was very loud and deep it did not sound like a firework show.
Two commenters on the video reported they heard the same sounds. One was in New Jersey and the other in Verona, Pittsburgh who said they heard the noise twice in the last two weeks.


Comment: The above video has since been removed by the user. The same clip was posted on YouTube by 'Mystic Hippie' on December 29th::
This video was taken on 12.02.2018 @ 18:15. We were sitting in the house when we could hear it for a good 30 minutes. Finally we decided to go outside and record it. The video doesn't do justice to what it sounded like. It was a deep sound as if there was bombing going on at a distance. We did rule out fireworks by phone calls we made to surrounding towns.

I actually had this on my personal channel and had no idea of the popularity it quickly gained. I'd rather this be on my public channel so I've moved it here.

Snowy owls have returned to Wisconsin in high numbers - at least 43 reported so far

Snowy owl
In recent years they've become an increasingly popular winter attraction across Wisconsin.

And once again, snowy owls are returning to our area for the cold weather months.

Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary Animal Curator Lori Bankson can sense the growing fascination over snowy owls in recent years.

"Wisconsin has been very lucky the last few years with the irruptions of so many owls coming down and some owls staying in the area, so with the power of the internet, with the information getting out there, with the DNR and so much great research going on, we can track these owls," says Bankson.

And thanks to the website ebird.com, the public can, too.

Since early November, this map details an estimated 43 snowy owls reported from 26 Wisconsin counties, with the lower Bay of Green Bay being a hot spot.

A sinkhole swallows an SUV
A New Mexico driver's Friday morning commute turned nightmarish after their car was swallowed by a sinkhole.

The sinkhole opened up on a street in Rio Rancho. The town's fire department posted an image of the car on its Facebook page, which shows the vehicle resting on its side in the sinkhole.

Rio Rancho Fire Rescue said the driver was able to self-extricate and was not injured.

KOAT reported that the sinkhole was caused by a water main break in the area.

More than 25 million people are under winter weather alerts from Oklahoma through Virginia, and more than 10 million are under a flood threat from the Gulf coast to South Carolina.
The winter storm sweeping across the southern United States revealed its power Saturday by dropping 10 inches of snow on Lubbock, Texas -- 2 inches more than the city usually gets in a whole year.

"They crushed their yearly average in 24 hours," CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera said.The Lubbock Police Department tweeted late Saturday that black ice and freezing fog were beginning to form on areas Interstate 27. Police said they were "working about 20 wrecks due to these dangerous conditions."

Having done its work in Texas, the storm will move east and is expected to pound the Carolinas with heavy snow Sunday, followed by rain, Cabrera said. Sleet and flooding are also possible across the South.As much as 6 inches of snow might fall in Charlotte, North Carolina, and ice accumulations of a quarter of an inch to half an inch are possible.

"Six inches will shut that city down," CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar said. "It's very much like any other Southern city ... where they don't have the resources that a lot of other cities have. They have few salt trucks, few snowplows. It takes them longer to clean something like that up."

Comment: North America just had its most extensive November snow cover in at least a half-century
