History of Come in From the Cold Day
Little is known about the origin of this day. It is an interesting mystery as to who created the day or why the date January 22 was chosen. We do know that many people lament winter as their jobs may have them outside in the cold often. So while winter may be filled with exciting outdoor activities in the snow, many people would rather come in from the cold.
With the current changes in climate, there have been more and more days where it has been below-average temperatures recorded. We have seen some of our coldest days and most snowfall recorded in years recently.
Fairly recently, cold records were broken in western Canada and above-average snowfall was recorded in northeastern Europe.
Above-average snow depth was recorded in northern California and Nevada. These cold snaps can become more frequent and more potent as our weather patterns change. We have seen various areas from China to Texas suffer gravely from blizzard conditions, inadequate heating, and failing energy systems. These cold snaps are also cropping up in places that do not usually experience this extreme weather.
These cold-weather events are due to the changing Arctic climate, which has been steadily warming for years. Scientists believe that the melting sea ice in the Arctic is weakening the jet stream. This allows the frigid polar air to penetrate farther south than the usual normal, bringing with it the colder weather.
