We used to call it an “Alberta Clipper” when I was forecasting in Kansas.

Cold air streaming out of Alberta Canada. In the 70’s one day and near zero and snowing the next.

Now it has to have a scary name... Polar Vortex....oooooo-oooo!

Yes the latest boogie man of the left. The evil Polar Vortex formerly know as a cold front. Brought to us by global warming.

I remember two terms for such storms when they rolled through.
“Alberta Clipper”
and
“Siberian Express”

Nowadays it's go ‘epic’ or go home. I just wish this had happened before we hit the 2010’s I won't be able to tell grand children about the great winter of ought-whatever. Guess I'll just have to brag about how many polar vortexes I survived.
