Same here in New England. But how long will it last before we experience the same drought conditions other places have?

I don't expect droughts in Michiganistan.
New England....not there either.
We have had a few through the years, when the reservoirs get low and water use is restricted.
The southwest differs in having a long history of
severe drought. I avoid that place...except for
brief trips to recreate.

And yet no headlines for the fact that the winter of 2021 was the coldest ever recorded
in the antarctic.

So, it's all about you?

Antarctica is not the world.
BTW, I have a friend who works there 6-9 months of the year, and he has seen changes there that clearly give evidence of global warming, especially the massive "calving" that's happening there. Greenland's glaciers are diminishing at a rapid rate. Etc.
The overwhelming scientific evidence is being very consistent on this, and I've mentioned some of them before.
But climate change does not refer to heat only, we had both last year, more than two heat waves and also one of the coldest winters we've ever had.

But India and Pakistan are?
I was simply pointing out the absurdity of the premise the OP presented.

The climate change alarmists claim that the planet is warming dramatically due to human actions.
Coldest winters ever fits into that paranoia in what way?

That's not about the entire continent of Antarctica.
We know that warm air and cold air circulate. However, if the earth is warming at an alarming rate then we should not be seeing record cold temperatures anywhere.

Yes, there is a reason that it is called "climate change" or Global Warming. Please note it is not called "London warming". There are areas that could cool down, though on average, over the whole globe, things will get warmer. Right now they are worried about the Gulf Stream being interrupted. The Gulf Stream brings warm air from the Caribbean up to Europe. It is not nearly so warm once it gets there, but it still makes winters in Britain a lot more like those of western Washington state than those of Moscow. Moscow is only four degrees of latitude north of London and yet there is a world of difference in their winters.

Umm, no. Once again, climate is complex. Shut down the Gulf Stream and we will see record cold winters in London. The globe is warming rapidly, but due to various local complexities we could have areas of cooling. One has to look a bit deeper than skin deep. You are only taking a very simplistic look at this and are terribly wrong as a result.

I understand weather patterns.
Please explain how the coldest place on earth reaches record cold temperatures as a result of dramatic warming.
This is not arctic air cooling the UK. This is recored cold in the antarctic.

And I've posted many times scientific sources that clearly show that we're in a period of global warming that has dire consequences if we can't bring it under control. Even our own DoD here in the States has issued warnings as such and how it can further lead to substantial suffering and conflict.
And the Church through PF's encyclical based on established science also says as such.

Coldest place on earth reaches record cold winter temperatures?
How did that happen? Cold air from the tropics?
Don't be so gullible.
