You might remember the polar vortex from January and later in January, when it brought extremely low temperatures to a good deal of North America. Starting next week the atmospheric phenomenon, usually confined to the Arctic regions of our planet, will be dipping down once again into many states.

We won't, here in the west…

Global Warming? Fuggedaboudit.
It's all due to _demons_!
