As some meteorologist here explained on Friday "A Siberian High [pressure zone] has taken over the entire Middle-East". Ever since that zero, president Bush, breezed through here two weeks ago, we've been having an unprecedented cold-snap, with single digit temperatures (Centigrade of course), throughout the country. At least ten have died of hypothermia! This, for the simple reason that most people don't even realize the cold CAN be deadly.
While cold fronts rolling in off of Siberia is a regular weather pattern here in the winter, this is really bad, what with complementary weather patterns moving up from the south, to keep this cold air in the same spot.
