Wisconsin Faces Antarctic-Level Freeze
Clip: Season 1700 Episode 1730 | 4m 11sVideo has Closed Captions
Atmospheric science professor Jon Martin explains the forces behind the recent cold snap.
Wisconsin suffered record-breaking cold this week, with an influx of frigid air that atmospheric and oceanic sciences professor Jon Martin says was “dug out” from from the arctic by the jet stream. Martin says that weather snaps like these--including a 50-degree temperature swing in a matter of days--are unusual but not unprecedented. “Weird things happen,” he says.
