Extreme cold is moving across more of the country this week, bringing with it the potential for record lows and dangerous conditions for children, pets and anyone else without adequate protection all thanks to a weather phenomenon known as the polar vortex.
What is the polar vortex?
This phrase is once again in the headlines, and worth re-defining. The polar vortex technically refers to a large area of low pressure and cold air that surrounds both of the Earths poles, according to the National Weather Service. Its always existed at the poles, but the polar vortex strengthens in particular during the winter and can send cold air southward.
Temperatures dip to dangerous lows when the polar vortex expands, sending thermometers plummeting.

Hubby and I spend some time every day watching this “election porn” and laughing our heads off. The MSM clips are good, but the buttercups supporting Hillary are off-the-chart gut-busting funny.
I like the girl hysterically crying and screaming, “Somebody better fix this sh!t!”
I’m cornfuzed. How can we have globull warming at the same time as a return to a cold war????
Where is that one?
YouTube has all the major channels saved for posterity.
I’m about to start on MSNBC’s collective mental breakdown.
:D
If it’s in the 20’s around Philly, I’m still wearing my cargo shorts.
Didn’t AlBore tell us that certain areas would be underwater by 2015? Which ones are and how far have they sunk?
She’s the first one on this clip, but she’s on a lot of ‘em:

I’ve found that if your feet are warm, you’ve covered your head and you’re being physically active, anything above the teens is tolerable in shorts, particularly if the sun’s out. If you’re not being physically active it’ll be miserable, especially if damp. Humidity seems to make cold feel colder. Makes warm feel warmer too, I guess. Humidifiers on heating systems in really cold, dry climates.
LOL!!
Uh...so...did she literally die?
;D
I know: “I LITERALLY WANT TO DIE!! SOMEBODY BETTER FIX THIS SH!T!” What ever happened to pride — biting the bullet — putting on your game face — stiff upper lip — etc.? Good grief; how embarrassing.
The guy running up to cars, screaming “kill me”.
Why does that never happen when I have the Dobes in the car?
To them, that would be like their birthdays and Christmas, all rolled into one.
Here’s another epic montage

In West Texas we have an over 50 degree drop for Saturday to Sunday morning. Crazy when that occurs. West Texas wind blows like nuts. Sunday morning in the teens. 15 degrees with a strong West Texas wind and you might as well be in Canada.
The earth too hot makes the earth too cold.
Hope that helps.
:)
Well, NOW I understand perfectly.
:-)
Eight years of the Unholy Error sure made me depressed and wrecked our business but no one, anywhere, has ever seen a video of me uttering so much as a whimper.
Suck it up and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
People always over-complicate things.
:D
well by golly if it gets down to 50 I’m sure there are some ‘cold weather shelters’ you can hunker down in till it passes lol
OK. But as a deplorable, reprobate, moronic, snaggle-tooth, redneck, room-temperature IQ, Trumptard, I still can’t find out what areas are underwater like AlBore promised.
Some new clips there. Hilarious!!!
I’d seen the guy running opposite traffic screaming, “Kill me! Kill me!” but he never mentioned Trump so I wasn’t sure if it was related to the election or not.
Will have to add to my list. Here’s some of my list:
Theres nothing quite as satisfying as a liberal in pain

They’ve been naming winter storms for a while now, but have they started naming cold waves?
There was a puddle beside my sidewalk, yesterday.
Pretty damn scary, at the time.
I thought we were doomed.
