1. That’s not snow, it’s “white privilege” showering down upon the city from the mansions of the wealthy.

   1. I’m sure that there’s some tribe somewhere deep in the Amazon rain forest that will claim that it never snowed in Brazil until whitey came along.

2. This is exactly what we expect from global warming.

   1. Good one. I’ve been enjoying the advice being given on weather forecasts about how to dress for the cold 🙂

3. A weather event.
   It was 27 north of Lloydminster
   Woo-hoo
   Equator?

   1. Don’t worry. Dear Leader will save us. After all, he can re-shape whole continents with a single twitch of his (false) eyebrows, right?

   2. This is why we must continue wearing masks and increase the lockdowns.

4. Yeah, it’ll do that in the winter. I’ve driven through a snow storm in Jacksonville, Florida at a north latitude the same as Brazilian south. About the same as South Africa, where it also snows.

5. That clip looks awesome!
   The lighting on that church looks perfect with the snow.

6. Snow in the highlands of southern Brazil in mid wintertime (end of July) is not common but does happen. The Sao Paulo plateau, the main coffee growing area far to the north, sometimes gets a few frosty nights over the decades which can quickly ruin much of that crop.

7. Well, it’s south of the equator and it’s winter over there.

8. Jeezus, Francisco, snow in southern Brazil is so common this time of year that it literally has its own Wikipedia page: wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_in_Brazil

   Kate would never have made such a rookie mistake. Like I said before, SDA ain’t what it used to be.

   1. Well Ted, I gotta say that it isn’t so normal that it’s not newsworthy. See my comments above.

9. Umm. You have to specify WHERE in Brazil. It snows every year in the southern highlands, been there during storms and they even have some skiing spots.

   If that is RIO de JANEIRO or further north, then we can say it is unusual but it is only the weather, there is no such thing as globaloney warmening.

10. Everything works for headlines as far as our scare-mongering ovine media is concerned.

    If it snows, it’s climate change/extreme weather/climate crisis.

    If it doesn’t snow, it’s climate change/extreme weather/climate crisis.

11. Global warming ate my homework.

12. It’s raining in eastern Ontario. WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

    1. It’s not raining in Vancouver. We’re all going to die.

13. In Toronto that would be a Snowmageddon super snowstorm and the city comes to a halt for days.

    Oh, for the old days….

14. Editors note: I am not responsible for anyone’s inability to read the news story accompanying the video.

    1. I had to go looking for it. That tiny underlined asterisk under the lower left corner of the video isn’t obvious enough.

15. “Historic cold obliterates crops in Brazil. Coffee ☕ , corn Ear of maize , oranges Tangerine are grown and exported in southern Brazil (Latitude 25°S)

    Another powerful Antarctic blast on schedule for next mid-week.”
