Last link is in italian, so the TLDR: this year, around Christmas, we’re going to get really cold temperatures in Europe and North America, caused by an overheating of the Stratosphere over the North Pole (Strat-warming). This will cause the constant low pressure of the North Pole to increase, pushing and splitting the polar vortex in two parts. One directed towards Europe, the other to North America.
Have /pol gone too far with this? I remember seeing a lot of Winter-chan memes around October, but then everything died down.
