Corrected entry: When you see all of the people leaving New York because of the blizzard there is one shot where the people are coming out of the library and close up to the screen you can see a traffic light dangling down which is obviously made from light vacuum-formed material as you can see it swinging so easily. (01:08:20)

Correction: The whole city (or most of it) was wiped out by a huge wall of water. It is most likely it had been loosened to a point where is just hanging on by a single bolt (or two).

Corrected entry: When "The Eye Of The Storm" is over New York Jack looks at the flag and the flag stops fluttering. When Jack has pushed his friend down the hole he looks at the flag again and it is fluttering again, just before it freezes. (01:38:55 - 01:40:20)

Correction: We can clearly see (and hear) a gust of wind "pick up" the flag just before it freezes.

Corrected entry: Near the end, "Mission Control" says there's reports of the storm dissipating over North America, but when the the guys in the Space Station look out of the window, they are looking at Europe.

James Ollier

Correction: The spacecrew never state they can see North America, they simply agree that the storm has dissipated. In the movie it is stated that the 3 supercells will join and create one giant supercell that will cover the entire northern hemisphere. If they could see Europe at the end, that would suggest that the supercell has dissipated.

Corrected entry: In the scene in the library where everyone is looking for a place to start a fire a worker at the library takes everyone to a fireplace. She says that the fireplace has not been used in 100 years. If the fireplace has not been used in 100 years surely it would have needed to be swept out prior to use or else all the smoke and CO would not have vented out the chimney. Instead it would have filled the room and killed everyone there.

Correction: The fact that we see snow fall out when he opens the fireplace suggests the chimney is clear. Thus smoke will easily escape up and out of the chimney.

Corrected entry: At the end, when Jack Hall finds his son in the library, he opens a door to the room where all of them were staying. The door is completely frozen. Opening the door by it's handle should have caused the handle to break, if not shatter, at that temperature. It would not have just opened as easily as it did.

Rollin Garcia Jr

Correction: Its only frost all over the walls and door handle. The freezing point of a metal door handle is much lower than the temperature depicted in the movie. The door handle would have to be immersed in liquid nitrogen in order to fracture and break apart like you say it should.
