Explanation
Spoofing off of tornado chasers are these permafrost chasers, who are just like tornado chasers, but they are chasing very boring permafrost. Permafrost is a layer of ground that never thaws, unlike ground south of where they are at where the ground freezes in winter and thaws in the spring.
Twister was a movie about a crazy group of tornado chasers trying to drop a probe releasing device named Dorothy (based on the real-life project TOTO) into the heart of a tornado. However much of the story was about Bill and his ex, both chasers, falling back in love, another chaser who is fighting Bill for research grants and fame, and a tornado that likes to chase people.

Does the title refer to anything. I can't find any analogy such as "1000 Miles West" etc. 141.101.106.107 19:06, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Could the title mean that the action here is happening 1,000 miles north of the tornato-chasing in the movie? Wdstarr (talk) 03:04, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
The speed of permafrost movement is, well, glacial. Mountain Hikes (talk) 04:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Randall would've been more accurate if he wrote "1000s of miles north of Tornado Alley".172.69.63.247 17:57, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
