Must be due to global warming. “Energy bars” must equate to warmer temperatures (cold temperatures would be something “sluggish”).
Or - it’s just weather. Actually - it sounds like a hurricane - but in the winter. And it may be feeding off warm southern ocean waters and then twisting the cold temperatures from the high into it’s leading edge.
I don’t know - but somehow it MUST be because I drove my truck today.
Ban “Energy Bars”!!
