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

Albino reindeer born the same week a double headed goat emerges, cows killed by hail maybe in South Africa, crops wiped out in Australia from hail. Potato shortages across the planet as we are supposed to be in the warm planet time, but losses from freezes and out of season weather seasons.

Its about the Earths connection to the Sun, our magnetosphere is weakening allowing jet streams to move out of the normal flow, yet somehow the IPCC wont consider solar activity on our global terrestrial climate system. Bending reality....................

The northeastern Chinese province of Heilongjiang has been experiencing extreme cold this week, with Mohe, the country's most northern city, recording temperatures of minus 40 degrees.

If you've been to any resort so far this winter, you know that this is shaping up to be one of the best years ever for Colorado skiing! Here are the records we've broken this season, and how this December stacks up to last year's.

This year Breckenridge Ski Resort opened two days early, marking the earliest opening day (Nov. 7) in more than a decade. North America's highest chairlift, the Imperial Express Super Chair, had its earliest opening EVER on Thanksgiving Day. (That's ever in the history of the chairlift's existence since 2005!)

Breckenridge received 80 inches of snow in the month of November - the second highest snowfall recorded in November over the past 20 years. The resort recorded 110 inches of snowfall from mid-October through the end of November - the most early season snowfall on record. Season-to-date, the resort has had more than 10 feet of snow.

Across the flank of the Tahoe Basin, miles of forest are glazed with a white frost and tree branches are flexing under the weight of snow.

This is the first week of December?

The scenes across the Sierra Nevada and Shasta-Cascade ranges are a testament to early-season storms that have swept across the high country in Northern California.

In contrast with last year, all 23 ski areas — big and small — are projected to be open by the Dec. 14-16 weekend, just in time for a banner Christmas holiday season.

Mind experiment; as you have seen French very upset about rising fuel prices when there is still available supply what do you think will happen when food triples in price and there is limited supply.

Climatologists coming out stating Water Vapor is the cause of the worlds warming and that the Atlantic is in the process of cooling on its 60 year cycle.

Changes all around as Chicago digs out from its record snowfall.
