Weather Talk: The Polar Vortex.

Tweet

Texas has a power outage due to simultaneous use of electrical energy. Gosh! That power must be restored quickly, before the people turn into frozen popsicles. I will not pretend to know what a Polar Vortex is but google has it "A polar vortex is an area of low pressure—a wide expanse of swirling cold air—that is parked in polar regions. During winter, the polar vortex at the North Pole expands, sending cold air southward. This happens fairly often and can be associated with outbreaks of cold temperatures in the United States." But the bitter cold is unprecedented. First time this Polar Vortex turned America into a virtual 'iceland.' The Snow Queen is casting her rage! The problem is, the cold stays for a few more days.
