Winter season brings freezing temperatures, and along with it, the phenomenon of Jack Frost. Jack Frost is a personification of frost, known for his ability to create intricate patterns of ice on surfaces. However, the year 2022 has seen an increase in the intensity and frequency of Jack Frost's presence. One of the main causes for this heightened occurrence of Jack Frost in 2022 is the shift in global weather patterns. Climate change is causing unpredictable and extreme weather events worldwide. As a result, colder temperatures are being experienced in many regions, leading to more frequent encounters with Jack Frost.
I pick another ornament out of the box. It is one my wife bought in a charity shop. It is a blown-glass bulb, hand painted, inscribed with the name “Esther.” We never had a clue who Esther may have been, but the bulb meant something to someone at some time. Therefore, we honor her every year. The bulb goes on my tree.
The last peculiar bit of this story is that it does not end in marriage, as those of this type usually do, when the girl on her own is found by a prince. Part of me is glad that she is taking more interest in her progeny, but what about my Christmas without Thalia to hang her stocking at the foot of her bed.
As a result, colder temperatures are being experienced in many regions, leading to more frequent encounters with Jack Frost. The colder temperatures can be attributed to various factors related to climate change. One significant aspect is the melting of polar ice caps, which releases cold water into the oceans and disrupts weather patterns.
Fairy Tale of the Month: December 2022 Jack Frost – Part One
Abandoned for Christmas! How has this happened? My daughter has taken Thalia to visit other relatives for the season. Part of me is glad that she is taking more interest in her progeny, but what about my Christmas without Thalia to hang her stocking at the foot of her bed?
The plot against me thickens when I realize Melissa, Augustus, and Duckworth have all gone off to visit family members. It is a relative conspiracy, I think. Ultima is of no use to me on this holiday. She and all her people have dragon familiars, and religion died out a long time ago in her world.
I will not be defeated. In October, I made my Christmas pudding. Yesterday, I bought all the ingredients for my Yorkshire pudding. (Why are they both called puddings when they are nothing alike?) I had to draw the line at the minced pie. I can only eat so much. Today, I went out and bought a Christmas tree, very small since I had to carry it home. I plan to read The Night Before Christmas to the brownies, the fairy, and Johannes on Christmas Eve. That is an oldie but goodie, American though it is, and maybe something else.
I now venture to the third floor to find my box of Christmas decorations. I can’t help noticing snow drifting from beneath the storage-room door.
Is there a window left up?
I open the door and am pulled into a wintery Russian landscape. It must be Russia because the crone sitting on a tree stump beckoning to me is, by her traditional headscarf, none other than Babushka. Despite my age, I sit at her feet in the snow like a two-year-old.
“Let me tell you the story called Jack Frost,” she says.
An old woman had a daughter and a stepdaughter. One day, she demanded that the old husband take his daughter out and abandon her to die. The father did not have the will to disobey his wife and took his daughter out on his sledge. Making the sign of the cross, he left her to die in an open field without any covering.
Jack Frost came saying, “Maiden, maiden, I am Jack Frost the Ruby-Nosed!” She answered, “Welcome Jack Frost! God must have sent you to save my sinful soul.” Jack Frost, touched by her gentle words, took pity and gave her a fur coat.
He approached her a second time in the same manner, and she answered him as before. He gave her a coffer filled with things for her dowry. On the third visit, he gave her a magnificent robe.
Meanwhile, the old woman prepared the funeral dinner and ordered the husband to bring back the corpse. The little dog under the table prophesized the stepdaughter would return in glory and no suitor would want the old woman’s daughter. The old woman fed the dog pancakes to cajole him into saying something other, but the animal would not change his tune.
When the stepdaughter did return in glory, the old woman commanded her husband to take her daughter out to the very same spot and leave her there to attain her dowry. Jack Frost approached the girl but hearing no kind words, killed her.
Again, the little dog predicted the end, and the old woman fed him pancakes to make him say something to her liking. Soon her husband returned with the frozen corpse of the old woman’s daughter.
As the story ends, the light fades, and the snow disappears along with the winter landscape. I find myself sitting in front of the box of Christmas ornaments that I’d come for.
Additionally, changes in ocean currents can influence atmospheric circulation, leading to lower temperatures in certain areas. Another factor contributing to the increase in Jack Frost's presence is the weakening of the polar vortex. The polar vortex is a large area of low pressure and cold air that surrounds the North Pole during winter. In recent years, the polar vortex has become weaker and more unstable, allowing colder air to escape and reach lower latitudes, bringing Jack Frost along with it. The consequences of Jack Frost's intensified presence in 2022 are diverse. Firstly, it poses challenges for transportation and infrastructure. Roads may freeze, making driving hazardous, and ice accumulation on power lines can cause disruptions in electricity supply. Moreover, the increased intensity of Jack Frost can have detrimental effects on agriculture. Frost can damage crops, impairing their growth and leading to economic losses to farmers. This can have long-term implications on food security, especially in regions heavily reliant on agriculture. The impact of Jack Frost is not limited to human activities; it also affects the environment. Frost can harm plants and wildlife, leading to a decline in biodiversity. Animals that rely on certain plants for food may struggle to find nourishment, further disrupting ecosystems. In conclusion, the heightened frequency and intensity of Jack Frost in 2022 can be attributed to climate change and the subsequent shifts in global weather patterns. This phenomenon presents challenges for various sectors, including transportation, agriculture, and the environment. Addressing the root causes of climate change, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, is crucial to mitigate the impact of Jack Frost and other extreme weather events in the future..
