When Chennai felt like North Pole: #ChennaiSnow sparks a meme fest on social media

The Hindu  

A bird’s eye view of MA Chidambaram Stadium, which shimmers as a sea of yellow during the IPL cricket matches, is surprisingly veiled in white. Srikanth K, who runs Chennai Rains on Twitter, recalls sharing a popular Vadivelu meme that has the comedian say, “Indha bordera thandi neeyum vara koodathu naanum vara maaten”, when he had to explain the incoming rainband and how it has not been moving. People had their share of fun on the Internet: a frozen Jack Nicholson from The Shining became the current state of Chennaiites, while another explained how the city feels in different seasons, “Sahara desert during summer, Venice when it rains and North Pole during winter.” Turns out that every depression comes with its own challenges. “Sea surface temperature, wind shear and dry cold air…there are multiple factors for a depression to translate into rain,” says weather enthusiast Raja Ramasamy, who runs the Twitter page, Chennai Weather. Explains Raja, “When the intertropical convergence zone drops and moves further down the latitude, it rains in the South of Tamil Nadu and we feel cold air from the North winds.” When the depression failed to produced rains, Raja reshared his Baahubali meme on the page, explaining the anti-climax.
