“It’s kind of weird to think about the Arctic warming because we have all this cold air spilling out towards us— that air is colder than we’re used to experiencing."
"But," Leibensperger explained, "while we’re freezing down here with that cold air, places farther north, like in Alaska, have extraordinarily warm temperatures that they’re unaccustomed to as well.”
Today’s storm is bringing heavy snow and some freezing rain throughout parts of the North Country. Leibensperger says storms like this one and thaws in between could be the new norm as humans continue to alter the climate."
