You can thank the polar vortex for this beastly blast of
winter
Dangerously cold temperatures will hit much of the Midwest
and bring a deep freeze to parts of the U.S. — and the weather term we can't

The National Weather Service warned that wind chills will
drop to their lowest readings since the mid-1990s across the Upper Midwest.

“Now we’re priming the generator, loading in firewood, buying extra batteries and toilet paper.”
“Sucks to be grown up.”
