Polar Vortex

I know this was discussed in threads from 2014, but what in the F is going on? We’ve already been seeing temps below 0 degrees F. Now another foot of snow Monday. Then a high of -12F and low of -25F with wind chills of -50F by Wednesday. I’ve lived in Chicago my entire life and never heard “polar vortex” until 2014. Now we get one every 5 years? Anyone else sick of this? Maybe time to make the trek south.

Winter is cool until the holidays and NFL playoffs end....after that---the next couple months are absolute fucking trash.
In the Philly area, we luckily haven't gotten any real snow since November but temps have been below average all season long. Sucks.www.myspace.com0 -

All I know is, I have to go outside today and get an oil change for my car, and fill it up with gas. I hope my we-we doesn't fall off.

This week is gonna suck. My biggest concern is pipes freezing or my furnace taking a dive when it’s -50 wind chills. What a joke to even say -50. Lol. Plus I have to be downtown Thursday morning in that shit. I’m not even sure taking the Metra in those temps is a great idea.0 -
Chicago will be a ghost town this week. Nobody will be going to work Wednesday. They will either be calling in sick, or their cars wont be starting. And yes, Metra will be a nightmare.

Look at the bright side: it will be a great opportunity to stay inside and get a little more practice time with the guitar."A smart monkey doesn't monkey around with another monkey's monkey" - Darwin's Theory0

Last December when I visited my family in VT for about a week the warmest it got on the thermometer was -17. With wind chill it was down around the -50 range.
Was fucking ridiculous.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
I feel like these polar vortex’s are new in the last 6-8 years. I grew up in Chicago area and remembered getting a LOT more snow as a kid but now it seems like it is 1 or 2 big snows a year with just extreme cold (in Indy).0

Uhhh yeah this week is going to suck. I'm guessing everything is going to be shut down on Wednesday.0
