What's been in the news this week... Polar Vortex.

The U.S has been in the grip of a polar vortex recently and has been all over the news.

What is a polar vortex? A polar vortex is a upper level low pressure area laying near one of the Earth's poles. A polar vortex is the most dangerous when it gets weaker because it makes even worse winter conditions. It made terrible weather conditions in Eastern America. In winter the temperature of the polar vortex usually drops around 195 k and stratospheric clouds form.

I think the polar vortex seems kind of interesting although I am glad I am here in the summer than there in the freezing cold.
