EVERY YEAR, WEATHER enthusiasts eagerly watch and wait for signs that the polar vortex, a mass of cold air spinning around the Arctic, might meander south, sending cold and snow into the lower latitudes.
Their wait might soon be over—and if you’re not a meteorologist, you may be surprised to learn that it’s because of a recent spike in Arctic temperatures.
Specifically, temperatures high in the stratosphere above Siberia. In the first week of January, they increased from about minus 92 degrees Fahrenheit to 8 degrees Fahrenheit. While these “sudden stratospheric warming” events happen to some extent every year, this one is categorized as a major event and is less common.
The mass of extremely warm air threw the freezing polar vortex out of balance, shoving it off its North Pole axis so forcefully that it in effect split in two, as if growing a pair of legs: one over North America and one over Europe.

Bring it. I got firewood.
Is this based on the European model, the Antarctic model, the Carpathian model, blah blah blah? /s
Analysis to come: Biden isn’t even President yet and he has already fixed global warming.
what a blessing to come now with less than 12 years left before global warming kills us all
I guess I’ll have to shovel my car out of another load of ‘warming’.
Then I will wear a mask.
(Ed Sullivan: "How cold was it, EEE?")
"Colder than the shoulder my wife gives me when she says she's not in the mood!"
BA-DA-BING!
Biden predicted a long dark winter. I guess a clock . . .
This can’t be right. “Experts” told us 20 years ago that snow would soon be a “thing of the past.”
Im at the northern Idaho/Canada border. I want my Damn snow. we got almost nothing yet. I can see the dirt in my field.
Well, I’m hoping for an epic blizzard to hit Washington on January 20. That would be sweet.
Yawn , Winter
Polar vortex gonna get ya
Knock you right in the head
Better turn the heat up baby
Or you’re gonna be dead
If it brings snow to southern Indiana! I’m all for it
Remember when it was just called “Winter”?

The article “explains” that Global Warming causes the Polar Vortices by pushing the cold air away from the poles. This year it’s so bad it created 2 Polar Vortices!!!! Horrors!
Watermelon Marxists: “Global warming will kill us all!”
real people “This winter is brutal.”
Watermelon Marxists: “Err... Climate Change will kill us all!”
That was back when Math wasn’t racist.
I remember it fondly.
