Rush Limbaugh pointed out that “Polar Vortex” is a brand new term to describe an ordinary event, to make it sound special.

So I have a great idea. A few years ago, in the southwest US, they tried to rename dust storms the rather silly sounding Arabic name of “haboobs”, as if they were somehow different from the very ordinary dust storms that everybody knew.

So here’s the idea: Let’s start calling this thing a “Polar Haboob!”, just turning it into a laughingstock of an idea.

“Better put that Polar Haboob in a brass brassiere!”

He's wrong.

Brian Wilkes here in Indiana has been using that term for 20 yrs on local weather broadcasts. I remember if from the 1994 cold spell.
