Agree, this article is written purely from an American point of view. Even if 'Cold Wave' is an American term, there should be an explanation as such - what about cold spells in other countries? Is that beyond the scope of this article? What I find worst is the usage of solely farenheit temperatures. This makes points of the article difficult to interpret for anyone not brought up with the scale. [[User:Miasmic|Miasmic]] ([[User talk:Miasmic|talk]]) 18:35, 5 October 2009 (UTC) |

I see an article for the cold wave across Europe, but I don't see one for the US. The first two weeks of January were pretty brutal across much of the midwest and eastern US. |

Cleanup
This article is very badly written at best. There are dozens of instances of poor English grammar throughout the article, and some of the article looks as though it may have been copied from an external source, without being altered to show a proper encyclopedic tone. This article is of high importance, so it would really benefit from a cleanup, at least to bring it up to minimal Wikipedia standards. Rossenglish 20:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
New cold wave
What about the currently existing 2006-2007 cold wave over parts of Western North America? Temperatures have dropped to -30`C in places, and it is caused by an Arctic high which usually follows an Alutien low. Should it be included? Thanks.

Too many examples?
This seems to me to have a lot of examples. Are they all really significant? THye seem to be showing me that moast years it gets cold somewhere... so waht? RJFJR (talk) 16:33, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Is this a specifically (North) American term?
I'm British, and have some interest in the weather, and can't recall seeing the phrase "cold wave" used on UK weather forecasts. For example, I don't remember the term being used (in Britain) about the European winter of 2005-06, even though I was following that quite closely. This article is quite strongly US-biased in its general tone, which would suggest that "cold wave" is indeed a (North) American term. I'll happily stand corrected if I'm wrong!
