Complete Headline: Here comes polar vortex TWO: Just when you thought it was safe to go outside... another blast of Arctic air to hit US next week

• Experts don't expect temperatures as severe as last week's chill
• New cold-front is expected to hit the East Coast on Thursday
• Most of the country's temperatures will remain above zero degree - unlike the last Polar Vortex
• Cities near the Great Lakes should expect lake-effect snow

If you live in the American Midwest or East Coast, you may want to hold off on putting away your winter gear.

Just as temperatures are beginning to warm in much of the U.S, another arctic blast in the form of a polar vortex appears to be on the horizon.

The upcoming front of icy temperatures is expected to bring arctic air to southern Canada and then move into the northern plains of the U.S. before moving to the Midwest and East Coast - each of which is still recovering from last week's frigid temperatures.

Now, maybe some of you Freepers will start to take the threat of Global Warming seriously ...

[Zakeet]

This wouldn't have happened if you would have let us enact a carbon tax!

Thunder yesterday in central Virginia. Thunder in January? Next week the arctic climate returns. Crazy.

The polar bearnado is a nice touch.

Burrr!!! This keeps up and I’m adding anti-freeze to my diet.

Changes global warming to climate change just in time

Well I heard Ted Cruz say something to the effect that he heard Obama say that he wouldn’t repeal Obamacare unless hell freezes over and then the week after we got all of these arctic blasts...lol

Thunderstorms in southern NC yesterday, water over the roads. One of our NC posters said she saw a tornado.

It looks like we’ll have a few days for the floods to subside before the next thing hits.

I guess weather.com didn’t get the word.

Predicted highs to the next five days:

51
48
53
39
41

This is the NYC forecast.

I actually heard a stupid “educated” liberal say that global warming is what caused the arctic blastswe’re having lately. Did I respond. No. The obvious stupidity hanging in the air and the silence that followed told me he realized what an idiot he was for saying it. These liberals...I don’t think.they think things through to their full conclusions very often...its fun when a liberal outstupids himself...

Why would anyone be putting away their winter gear? It’s the middle of January for Pete’s sake!!!

Last week Sunday it was a cold snap, temps and wind chill
-15. Today Sunday in Chicago a BALMY 45 degrees!

I’ll take it!!!

lol...exactly. I check the Farmer’s Almanac and they predicted a very cold winter. I read that back in September, which prompted me to get the roof replacement scheduled in October and completed in November. It IS Winter, after all.

The GOOD news? For me, at least, the daylight these days is noticeably longer. :-)

[maddog55]

Cold in January? Who’d a thought.

[rawhide]

They say it will not be as bad as before. We’ll see?

[no-to-illegals]

Good Morning and yes with liberals talking the LOL never cease.

All y’need is Charlton Heston in a parka, slamming the ground with his fists ... “You ASSholes !”

[knarf]

I predicted a relatively mild winter based on wasps nests and sqiurels nests

If you add it up, we've (sw Pa) had about two weeks of winter, so far.

"If you live in the American Midwest or East Coast, you may want to hold off on putting away your winter gear."

Because people in the Midwest are so accustomed to putting away their cold weather gear at the beginning of January....
