CHRISTMAS in the US is going to be extreme. Snow melting in Alaska. Ice in the Rocky Mountains. And it’s all due to a ‘drunk’ polar airstream.
WEATHER weirding is getting real.
And the United States is about to experience an extreme Christmas, according to forward forecasts.
Something very odd is happening to the jetstreams of air that circle the globe.
And it’s about to generate another of the ‘polar vortex’ effects that has slammed the United States with heavy snow falls much further south than usual in recent years.
