As I type, the temperature in Fargo, ND is -32 degrees, Madison, WI -21 degrees, 15 below in Minneapolis, Indianapolis & Chicago. Wind chill tonight is supposed to make the temperature in these places feel like 50-60 below zero. Now we name every storm and/or call each event "Super - something". Kind of like when we killed a zillion Native Americans and then named everything after them. USA, USA, USA...
Just want to mention [as I have already gotten one remark from a anthropogenic climate change friend] that it is predicted and expected by environmental scientists and atmospheric scientists that such colder, as well as warmer events would and will continue to occur. Some places will experience more droughts; some more rain - some will have unusual cold; others unusual heatwaves, etc. The atmospheric system has more energy in it due to a GENERAL global warming and consequent GENERAL increase in water and winds in the atmosphere....but how that plays out in individual places in individual seasons will be with EXTREMES - however, there is a general Global WARMING trend, and this event in NO WAY surprises the scientists nor negates the General Global Warming and general destruction of our ecosystem..........
