It must be so hot up north that all the cold air is trying to escape!!!!
Don’t laugh. Some version thereof might very well end up part of some upcoming announcement, to be released as soon as they make it back from being stuck in the Antartic ice.

VISUAL AIDS.
I want to ship it back to Fairbanks from Indiana.
Once a decade or so is enough to remind me what it’s like LOL.
Has anyone but me noticed that the enemedia is now reporting the “Wind Chill” instead of the actual temperature? Makes it sound more horrific I guess.
The whole goal is to promote the “crisis” aspect which of course demands more government to “handle” it.
Vortex? Just another Siberian Express or Alberta Clipper to me.
Must keep the ignorant ignorant with new words for old storms.
Just came in from checking the cows here in
northern mid-Tn.Feel sorry for them bunched up
trying to stay warm.Filled the bird feeder.
Gonna try to find me a face mask at Wally in a bit.

“The burst began on December 16,1890 with a severe snow storm that dumped three feet of snow on the Roanoke Valley. It caused “at least one death when the roof of the railway machine shops caved in and thousands of dollars in property damage” (Gladden 21)
What affect does this cold have on the radiation coming from Japan?
Polar Vortex? Perhaps Hollywood can make a movie about this phenomenon.
Ooops...already been made:
I'm hoping the Polar Vortex remains through the Super Bowl. Serves the NFL right for moving it to NY/NJ.
Ice cubes that glow in the dark?
LOL :o)
our temp late tonite - NJ - is expected to be 4 degrees
It’s predicted to hit 20f here in St. Augustine.
Davenport schools were closed today for a scheduled holiday. They have announced that schools will be closed tomorrow because of the dangerous temps.
