We are only at the very beginning of winter, and we are already being hit by a storm that will bring "the coldest air in decades" to many parts of the country.  In fact, there will be some areas where wind chill temperatures drop so low that it will literally be "life-threatening" to be outside.  Needless to say, we could really use some of that "global warming" they keep talking about right now, because conditions are going to be bitterly cold all over the U.S. this week.  For years, I have been warning that global weather patterns are starting to go completely nuts, and this winter is certainly off to an extremely bizarre beginning.  If you live in a place that will get hit really hard this week, please be safe.

According to the Weather Channel, the giant storm that has begun to sweep across the nation is known as "Winter Storm Elliott", and it could "become a bomb cyclone over the Great Lakes later this week"…

A? major storm – named Winter Storm Elliott by The Weather Channel – could become a bomb cyclone over the Great Lakes later this week and bring blizzard conditions to parts of the Midwest as well as high winds to the East Coast, snarling travel in the days leading up to the Christmas holiday weekend.

T?his developing storm will also usher in bitterly cold air to much of the nation as far south as Texas, the Gulf Coast and Florida.
