America is bracing for a brutal Arctic blast as a massive polar vortex smashes the country bringing deep freeze and catastrophic winter storms.
Meteorologists are warning this will be the most punishing Arctic invasion yet, cementing this period as one of relentless, record-breaking cold.
Frigid forces in the Arctic are converging, pushing what should be confined to the North Pole deep into the US, several meteorologists tell The Associated Press.
This will be the 10th time this winter the polar vortex - which keeps the coldest air at the top of the world - stretches like a rubber band to send it south, said Judah Cohen, forecast director at the private firm Atmospheric and Environmental Research.
In a normal winter, it happens maybe two or three times.
This winter, with record snow in New Orleans and drought and destructive wildfires in Southern California, has not been normal.
The latest projected cold outbreak should first hit the northern Rockies and northern Plains Saturday and then stick around all next week. The cold will likely concentrate east of the Rockies with only the far American west and central and southern Florida exempted, meteorologists said.
On Tuesday, expect the Lower 48 states to have an average low of 16.6 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 8.6 Celsius), and then plunge to 14 degrees (minus 10 Celsius) on Wednesday, calculated private meteorologist Ryan Maue, a former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist.

Dude
“Make sure that the Thermostat Unit is LEVEL. (If it is an older model with the Mercury Bulb)?”
That comment makes you look old. I got one of those. 😁
The fear-mongering just doesn’t let up.
LOL !!! I am Old🤪
I use a hammer and chisel and a piece of stone tablet to make my Post. I’ve got a converter that puts it in the computer form.
GOD.....” YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE THE CLIMATE, I’ll give you GLOBAL WARNING”!
GOD.....” YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE THE CLIMATE, I’ll give you GLOBAL WARNING”!
Damn GloGore Warming...
I survived the winter in the North Atlantic. I think I can do this.
Trying to remember the movie (made late 2000s or early 2010s) about a guy setting across the (frozen) USA, to save his son, no matter what. With freezing temps that will freeze glass in about .00000000000000000001, from a vortex, seconds, yet, the wolves survive.
I may have it... but can’t remember the name.
Will watch it again as soon as I can remember, or have help.
I just looked outside, we got an inch of snow overnite, i might be snowed in.
When and on what ship. We had a boat pull into Rota Spain outta the North Atlantic, the Stimpson if I remember right. Back in the 70’s. The tin can that escorted it in had damage topside to the point they cut the dogs off of water tight door topside with torches is what we heard on my boat. The North Atlantic is a mean old beotch in the winter. Lotsa good sailors rest in that water. Regards
IT'S THE POLAR VORTEX!!
Did the democrats send more water to put out that ball of fire in the sky again?
A poser or a question, if you prefer. Is it a Polar Vortex, if you pee and flush the toilet and it’s-3 degrees outside? Just wondering.
I never even heard of a polar bear vortex until I started reading British news sites.
Yeah, welcome to Atlanta. If there's any white at all on the ground we shut down.
Unusually severe winter weather does not contradict the fact of global warming (whatever the cause or causes) but it does provide at least a partial corrective to it.
