South America Cold Wave Brings Rare Snow, Freezing Deaths
Jul 20, 2010; 1:08 AM ET
More than a week of abnormal cold has chilled Argentina and other
parts of South America, leaving rare snow, rewriting record books and
causing hypothermia deaths.
The outbreak began more than one week ago with biting winds out of
Antarctica chilling southernmost Chile and Argentina, a land known as
Patagonia.
The cold outbreak set up the Andean region for deep snow. In the
Chilean district of Aysen, the snowstorm was said to be worst in 30
years and left more than 2 feet of snow on the ground at both
Coihaique and Balmaceda. According to a meteorologist at MetSul, a
weather service in southern Brazil, snow accumulation to 5 feet was
reported from Balmaceda. The Army were called upon to rescue people
trapped by the snow.
Snow spread northward in Argentina along the eastern side of the
Andes. Mendoza, a region known for its wine, not snow, had snow said
to be the heaviest in a decade.
Rare snow whitened the resort beaches of Mar del Plata on the morning
of July 15.
Snow was seen for the first time in living memory in parts of Santiago
del Estero, the MetSul meteorologist said. In the far north, one town
of Tucuman had snow for the first time since 1921.
In all, nearly every province of Argentina experienced at least a
little snow, an unusual event.
On July 16, the cold blast brought Buenos Aires its lowest
temperature, -1.5 C, or 29 F, since 1991. On city outskirts, the
airport at Ezeiza registered consecutive lows of 26 F, 26 F and 23 F,
on July 15-17, respectively.
The cold snap brought record electrical power demand to the city, and
Argentina had to import electrical current from neighboring Brazil.
Strong southerly winds blasted the cold into Bolivia, Paraguay,
Uruguay and southern Brazil.
Rare snow was sighted on the Chaco of southern Bolivia as severe
windswept cold gripped the lofty Andean Altiplano. Wet snow and sleet
were seen in Uruguay.
Snow whitened highest spots along the mountains of Santa Catarina
state, and one town in the state, Urupema, saw temperatures dip as low
as -7.8 C, or 18 F, according to MetSul.
The cold front that ushered the cold northward did something few such
fronts ever do: it slipped across the Equator with a noticeable drop
in temperature in southeastern Colombia and northwestern Brazil before
dissipating amidst tropical warmth.

Listen carefully, dumbshit: South America is in the SOUTHERN
HEMISPHERE.
August in the Southern Hemisphere is WINTER.
When it's summer here in the USofA, it's winter in the Southern
Hemisphere.
Damn, but you rightwingers are stupid.

Listen carefully, dumbshit: They are not talking about a NORMAL South
American winter.
Important phrases you missed because you did not read the post:
"... abnormal cold..." Notice the word "abnormal" ? ?
"... rare snow..." Hmmm.... wonder what "rare" means.? ?
"... rewriting record books...":
"...worst in 30 years..." Sound liker a regular winter to
you ? ? ?
"... first time in living memory..." Yah, right. Sounds like a
normal winter to me Ha, ha, ha, ha ;)
"...an unusual event." just your regular ol' winter right?
"...lowest temperature, -1.5 C, or 29 F, since 1991."
"... cold snap brought record electrical power demand ..." Wonder
what "record " means? ?
"...cold front that ushered the cold northward did something few such

Yep.. just
your regular ol' South American winter. ;)
Damn, but you leftwingers AGW Alarmists are stupid.

This is the 6th discussion started on the cold weather in Peru. Every
single one has been started by a denier and they've tried used this
local cold weather to give some kind of a boost to their ridiculous
global cooling ideas, or to somehow say that GW can't be happening
because it is cold in Peru. Utterly stupid, but they fall into the
wide open trap, which has big signs all around it saying; "This is a
trap for stupids, don't fall in!" every time. They must see it
(surely?), must know (surely?) must realise (surely?) but no;
unfortunately they *are* too stupid to realise and tumble in head-
first, often en-masse.
Oh well. Looking forward to the 7th.

Come on Dawlish.... you didn't even read the post by Leon either?
>"This is the 6th discussion started on the cold weather in Peru."
I say you never read it because it doesn't even mention Peru.
I guess you missed were it talks about Argentina, Chile, southern
Brazil, Bolivia, and Columbia, Paraguay, and
Uruguay in the article.
Peru isn't even in the article.....
Try reading the post next time.
You should be sitting in one of your own "stupid seats". maybe the
one over there in the cornere with the "Dunce's Cap"
Here you go.......

down please

And I guess you missed the part about AUGUST BEING THE MIDDLE OF THE
WINTER.

One of the predicted characteristics of global warming would be
greater temperature ANOMALIES. (Look it up, moron). BOTH HOT AND
_COLD_ ANOMALIES. Get it, moron? This is predicted because warming
ocean temperature add greater moisture and energy to storms so they
are more severe. Even cold ones. Get it moron?

Ø Those who would call others, "moron" need
only look in a mirror to see a real one. That
is you Deepshit.

Ø "greater temperature anomalies" is a cliche
to cover over anything the AGW alarmist
bullshitters can not explain.
Ø The hottest July just got canceled by the by
the addition of the data from the southern
half of the globe. The MET(UK), NOAA,
GISS/NASA dropped 80% of the 6,000
global weather stations to provide warmiing
climate data. Many of those stations were
in SA.
Ø The 1,500 year trend (the only one that
counts) indicates that we are at the end of
the interglacial period. There will be much
weather extremes— Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry,
over the next 20 years or so. Then the Ice
Man cometh.

There are three types of people that you
can_not_talk_into_behaving_well. The
stupid, the religious fanatic, and the evil.
1- The stupid aren't smart enough to follow the
logic of what you say. You have to tell them
what is right in very simple terms. If they do
not agree, you will never be able to change
their mind.
2- The religious fanatic: If what you say goes
against their religious belief, they will cling to
that belief even if it means their death.
3- There is no way to reform evil- not in a
million years. There is no way to convince
anthropogenic_global_warming_alarmists,
terrorists, serial killers, paedophiles, and
predators to change their evil ways, They
knew what they were doing was wrong, but
knowledge didn't stop them. It only made
them more careful in how they went about
performing their evil deeds.

One of the characteristics of weather all during the geological
history of the Earth is temperature anomalies...
BOTH HOT AND COLD ANOMALIES. Get it leftard ? ? ?
LOOK AT THE VOSTOK AND GREENLAND ICE CORE STUDIES
Notice how short the warm times are... much much shorter than the
cold glacial periods.... we are due relatively shorlty to enter
another glacial period....
Be happy that you live during a warm period... within the next few
thousand years.... your ancestors will be suffering through a glacial
period... like the one 18,000 years ago...
Present temperatures and rat of change is well within the normal
range of variability if you look at the last 400,000 years or so.
Your a total idiot leftard....
You obviously can't open your mouth without subtracting from the sum
of human knowledge !
