"Polar vortex" sounds a whole lot scarier than "freaking cold"

‘Polar Vortex’ Plunges Midwest, Northeast into Record Deep Freeze | TIME.com

Factoring in wind chill, temperatures as low as 50 to 70 degrees below zero are forecasted in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest by Sunday night…[Which is why we don't believe in wind chill. What's the point?]

Here, this morning, Weather Underground, our go-to service for local temps since they have three measuring points within a mile of here, said 3. Degrees. F.

Our big down jacket marched right through it, no sweat. (OK, of course no sweat. But also no shiver.) So bring it, vortex. Make my day.
