We always talk about the polar vortex and people say what is that anyway . Because its the the world is spinning around, we end up with a vortex on both the north and the south pole and obviously this time of year theres no daylight at all above the Arctic Circle so it allows the air to get colder and colder and just like a spinning top it gets knocked off of its axis a little bit and the wobble at the pole unleashes that cold air flow to come right down over the poles. Our friends in canada dont do much to slow down the cold either so we will be in the cold for the next couple of days. It doesnt happen all that often but when it does do we pay the price for it.
