Frigid temperatures kill 53 in Taiwan, more possible deaths feared as mercury set to plunge further this weekend

As the latest cold wave blasts Taiwan causing temperatures to plummet to 10 to 12 degrees Celsius in all parts north of Tainan, 53 people have lost their lives to the bitter cold weather yesterday (Jan. 30), but more lives are at risk as an intense cold surge is set to arrive on Saturday, reported Apple Daily.

The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) predicts that as the current cold air wave is combined with another cold air mass that arrives from the north in the evening, central Taiwan and all areas north could dip down to 10 degrees tonight.

Weather experts say that the cold weather of the past couple days is just an "appetizer" for the much colder weather yet to come. A major cold surge is set to strike Taiwan from Saturday through Tuesday, causing the mercury in all points north of central Taiwan to drop down to 6 to 7 degrees. During this period, Hehuanshan, Taipingshan, Lalashan, Qixingshan, and Datunshan are all likely to see snowfall.

Under the affects of the current cold air mass, Taoyuan's Xinwu District registered a record low of the winter thus far of 10.7 degrees Celsius yesterday morning. Meanwhile, Yushan saw two centimeters of fresh snowfall and Yushan's Paiyun Lodge saw five centimeters of snow.

At 144 inches and counting, Erie in Pennsylvania is nearing seasonal snowfall record

SNOW
Erie is closing in on its snowiest winter in city history.

The 2.8 inches of snow recorded Tuesday at Erie International Airport elevated Erie's seasonal snowfall total to 143.8 inches — just 5.3 inches from eclipsing the city's seasonal snowfall record 149.1 inches in 2000-01.

Erie's 143.8 seasonal snowfall currently ranks as the city's third-snowiest winter behind the 2000-01 winter and the 145.8-inch total that fell in 2008-09.

The total snowfall for Erie from Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon measured 3.7 inches.

Greenland getting colder says 15 years of data but global warmists 'fill in the gaps' to convince themselves otherwise

greenland weather station airport
Fifteen years of satellite measurements have unexpectedly shown that parts of Greenland are getting colder. But the scientists who produced these results urge people to believe that this cooling trend is a blip, because climate models say Greenland should be warming.

Comment: The world probably has warmed since the 1850's. We know that the River Thames in London hasn't frozen over for more than a hundred years, whereas before it happened more regularly:

River Thames frost fairs - Wiki:
there were 24 winters in which the Thames was recorded to have frozen over in London... - century totals are: 15th two, 16th five, 17th ten, 18th six, 19th one.
So we can see evidence of the little ice age - it has also been documented extensively elsewhere - and following that there has been a period of warming but that trend is, yet again, swinging back to cooling:
