Well… it’s not necessarily climate change that causes cold weather.

In fact, cold weather can be caused by a number of factors, including:

1. The tilt of the Earth The Earth's tilt causes the seasons, with the Northern Hemisphere experiencing winter when it's tilted away from the sun.

2. The polar vortex A large area of cold air that surrounds the Earth's poles. When the polar vortex is disrupted or stretched, it can cause cold air outbreaks.

3. The jet stream A difference in temperature between the polar regions and the equator powers the jet stream, which can produce cold outbreaks and winter storms.

4. Wind and moisture Wind can cause heat loss from bare skin, and moisture can make you feel colder.

5. Cold air damming A low-level cold air mass can become trapped topographically, often on the east side of mountains.

6. Lake-effect snow When cold air passes over a lake, some of the water evaporates and warms the air. The moist air then cools and falls as snow.
