U.S. Polar Vortex

[Gare]

We're in the single digits here (Fahrenheit) and our weather prediction is that it will continue through the end of this month.

We're in central New York a 90 minute drive up to Niagara Falls, BTW. With the Wind Chill figured in, it's getting down to -22° F. at night.

Watertown, N.Y. received the dubious distinction of being the coldest town in America last night, -60° or something with Wind Chill accounted for.

This is the third year in a row we've had freakish season weather, and I defy anyone to tell us that the carbon we've been putting in the air hasn't changed something. It's been super-cold and also super-warm, and that means that we're putting energy into weather systems, hot or cold, with emissions.

On the other hand, none of the people who like skiing are complaining.
