An above average amount of ice melts occurred in the arctic this year. Because of extra ice melts in the arctic, the northern hemispheres heated more than usual. With the lack of a sufficient temperature difference between Arctic and southern regions to drive jet stream winds, the jet stream became weaker and more variable in its course, allowing cold air usually confined to the poles to reach further into the mid latitudes.

A real answer that gets straight to the point.

Of course, that stupid comic posted >>6404845

It's fucking 50 out and he thinks it's too cold.
He has no sense of scale and just uses the cold as an excuse for his anti-social behavior.
