America Experiencing Dangerous Polar Vertex

The bitter chill gripping North America is a result of Arctic air that has spilled southwards, and global warming may be a cause.

A huge mass of arctic air has slipped away from the North Pole, settled over the U.S. and made everything really, really cold. The Midwest was battling uncommonly frigid weather that threatened to break some all-time-low temperature records.


White House Blames Global Warming for this Phenomenon.The polar vortex isn’t this entity like a hurricane or nor'easter that develops and goes away. It’s a normal feature that’s part of the polar climate.

If a person isn’t dressed properly, and they don’t have a winter survival kit in their vehicle, and if they aren’t prepared, they’ll have to deal with the consequences thereafter," Heitkamp a meteorologist said. “We have a lot of vehicles right now that are not starting.

The polar mass is expected to warm slightly as it moves over the East Coast by Monday night, before finally blowing out to sea.

Many Authorities have warned people to minimize their time outdoors and pay attention to the Weather Updates.
