Antarctica Experiencing Cold Wave

[Bballfan123]

With winter set in in the southern hemisphere Antarctica is experiencing a bitter cold wave, with temps not expected to climb above -60(!) C, or -76 F. Millions of square miles are expected to drop to -60, and it's entirely possible that temperatures hit -100.

It is difficult to tell, as these temps are literally off the chart. The chart stops at -60 C. But the average is below -60, so the daily lows must be even lower than that. Approaching -100 F and colder.

Some areas are 25 F (18 C) below average deep in the heart of the icefield.

I hope the alien cryptids down there are equipped for that

That ice age mentioned in the 70s is finally arriving.

Normally I'd be upset, but it's supposed to be cold in Antarctica, so whatever.

They love under the snow. Caves with volcanic thermal springs keep them warm.

They don't actually live there... that's just where their entrance to the hollow earth is.

People laugh when I tell them that that was actually a popular belief at the time.

It's more of a holiday home, they actually live on the other side of the disc with the reptile people......

Not a good sign. Extreme weather events are going to become more common.

And here I thought it was always a cold wave there.

I don't like it when it's under 60*F
