Meteorologist warns 'highly unusual' US winter pattern shift is coming
Story by Everett Sloane, 2/5/2026
"A sharp, late-season flip in the jet stream is setting up a winter pattern that looks very different from the one that opened the year, and forecasters say it is not business as usual. A leading Meteorologist has described the looming shift as 'highly unusual,' warning that a distorted #PolarVortex and a recharged storm track could rearrange who gets buried in snow and who finally thaws out. The stakes range from #water supplies in the mountains of the western United States to #EnergyDemand and even #wildlife stress in places that are not built for #ArcticAir.
"The core of the coming change is a dramatic reconfiguration of the polar vortex and the jet stream that steers storms across North America. Instead of a simple, locked-in cold pool over the eastern half of the country, forecasters describe a stretched and wobbling circulation that can send frigid air plunging south while allowing pockets of warmth to surge north. One Meteorologist has framed the setup as 'Highly unusual,' noting that winter weather across the United States is about to change in a big way as the upper-level flow reorganizes over the central and eastern states, a shift detailed in a recent analysis. Instead of the gradual, predictable evolution that textbooks once suggested, the atmosphere is pivoting quickly, with cold and warmth trading places in a matter of days."

If I get to choose how I go, I've decided that I want it to be on one of those death #rollercoasters because I think rollercoasters are fun and I'd be happy to die having one last bit of fun.
Not me considering buying a Holsta belt because they use the same buckles as Intamin roller coaster seat belts...

Looks like there's a new (French) video on the history of Vertigo at Walibi Belgium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgRQbzmFIv8
If you don't know it, Vertigo was as if someone went "what if ski lift, but rollercoaster??" and this somehow actually got built, and only operated for several days in total before getting closed and demolished due to constant technical problems. I was lucky enough to get a chance to ride it, and it was an incredibly unique experience, almost like you're floating on the air, I still miss it! Here's some of the little footage that exists of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16Rg6-fuEXo

🌶️🔥 Capsaicin, the compound that makes #peppers spicy, hijacks your nervous system by binding to the TRPV1 receptor – the same alarm your body uses to detect actual damage.
Through repeated exposure, your #brain learns the sensation is harmless and under your control, transforming pain into pleasure through a mechanism similar to why people enjoy scary #movies and #rollercoasters.
