From the NWS:
A very frigid, arctic air mass will continue to bring dangerous, and in some cases life-threatening, low temperatures and wind chills to parts of the central and eastern U.S. on Tuesday. Wind Chill Advisories and Warnings are in effect for much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation with wind chill values as low as -20F to -50F possible. Temperatures are expected to begin moderating on Wednesday.
But, as The Patriot Post points out:
‘Polar Vortex’ Scaremongering
Remember back in the good ‘ole days when everyone expected winters to be, well, cold? Well, forget that. The Leftmedia is having a field day with this week’s furious Arctic outbreak across a large portion of the U.S., thanks to what is alarmingly being called the “polar vortex.” Climate alarmists were quick to blame the cold snap on variable weather patterns being created by man-made global warming. The Weather Channel wondered, “Is The Record Cold Arctic Outbreak Tied To Global Warming”? while CBS’ Charlie Rose asked, “Is it definitely connected to global warming?” Putting scaremongering aside, the “polar vortex” is an upper-level cyclone that is always present. Pieces of the vortex occasionally break from the cyclone, taking with it pools of sometimes very frigid air. Bottom line: Mother nature gets the last laugh.
As usual, Cold is Hot, Freedom is Slavery, Good is Bad, etc.
