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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But, as <a href=\"http:\/\/patriotpost.us\/posts\/22569\">The Patriot Post<\/a> points out:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8216;Polar Vortex&#8217; Scaremongering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember back in the good &#8216;ole days when everyone expected winters to be, well, cold? Well, forget that. The Leftmedia is having a field day with this week&#8217;s furious Arctic outbreak across a large portion of the U.S., thanks to what is alarmingly being called the &#8220;polar vortex.&#8221; Climate alarmists were quick to blame the cold snap on variable weather patterns being created by man-made global warming. The Weather Channel wondered, &#8220;Is The Record Cold Arctic Outbreak Tied To Global Warming&#8221;? while CBS&#8217; Charlie Rose asked, &#8220;Is it definitely connected to global warming?&#8221; Putting scaremongering aside, the &#8220;polar vortex&#8221; 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As usual, Cold is Hot, Freedom is Slavery, Good is Bad, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,42,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environment","category-global-warming","category-greenbats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5963\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
