Polar Vortex Set to Return

The polar vortex will get stronger and move farther south later in January, causing cold to intensify in the Midwest and East and drought to build in California and the West.
As the pattern responsible for rounds of nuisance snow and waves of cold air continues into next week, indications are that bitterly cold air will return later in the month courtesy of the polar vortex.
There is the chance the cold may rival that of early January in some areas.
Impact from the new surge of very cold air may include the already familiar risks from below-zero temperatures including life-threatening conditions and frostbite. The cold may be intense enough to cause school closings, frozen pipes and water main breaks. Heating systems may struggle to keep up, people will spend more money keeping their homes and businesses warm and ice will again build up on area rivers. Where the cold is accompanied by snow, travel delays are likely.

It was almost 50 degrees here today. Roads are going to be shit with all of the rain and melted snow. Give Alaska it's polar air back!

We installed electric pipe heaters after our dishwasher busted during the last cold wave.

I'm ready.

I work in fast food. Last Monday it was colder in the kitchen than in our walk in cooler. Perfect time to find out our heaters don't work. Fuck this shit.
