Not really,South America is the only place in the World that an air mass from Antartic can Reach Northern Hemisphere.

I think it is,how you can see,the airflow on the image are from Southwest,and i remember that day was one of the coldests of 2015 winter.

And yes,it mostly Circles Antarctic in whole year,but in winter during cold shots it can dip North around 40S.

Of course this would happen in North America lol. Meanwhile this sort of event would never happen at a similar latitude in any other part of the world. Can you imagine there being a massive snowstorm in Hawaii or in Sudan or Burma? What a joke this continent is

Nice pics!


North central Mexico is high and dry and can get pretty cold.


Back in feb 2011 Chihuahua City went below 0F /-18C
and does get snow ...it's about 4400 ft / 1200 m above sea level at 29N


Ironically parts of Canada have had a very mild winter, I'm amazed how constitantly warm Calgary/southern Alberta has been,
has to be a record I'm sure.
