Much of the Country Will Be Hit With a Major Cold Snap

Get out your long undies because much of the country is going to get blasted with cold weather we haven't seen for quite awhile during the early days of 2010 (from Watts Up With That):

Yesterday, Senior AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Bastardi let loose with this stunning prediction on the AccuWeather premium web site via Brett Anderson’s Global warming blog:

What is facing the major population centers of the northern hemisphere is unlike anything that we have seen since the global warming debate got to the absurd level it is now, which essentially has been there is no doubt about all this. For cold of a variety not seen in over 25 years in a large scale is about to engulf the major energy consuming areas of the northern Hemisphere. The first 15 days of the opening of the New Year will be the coldest, population weighted, north of 30 north world wide in over 25 years in my opinion.

If it's any consolation those of us on the West Coast will enjoy rather nice weather during that same period. We have enough Hollywood environwackos out here to ensure that global warming continues on the Holy Coast.
