What's up with these crazy weather patterns?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) February 14th, 2021

As I write this, an hour before dawn, in Memphis, TN it’s 16 degrees fahrenheit.

Go way up north several thousand miles to Saint John, Newfoundland, on the eastern coast of Canada, it is now daybreak, and it is a few degrees warmer, at 19 degrees.

Cross the ocean and much further north, its 34 degrees in Bergen, Norway and 28 degrees near the Arctic Circle at Narvik, Norway—and Reykjavic, Iceland—not too far from the Arctic Circle, its a balmy 43 degrees fahrenheit .

Walnut Grove, Minnesota is currently eighteen degrees below zero. Now, I know that Minnesota has very cold winter nights. But the coldest and furthest north place my phone’s weather app lists—Northeast Greenland, is sixteen degrees warmer than Walnut Grove, at only two below zero.

Any comments on this crazy weather?
