Up your way, of course … the PNW’s had it far too nice this winter
My Dad had snow at the (Oregon) beach yesterday … in fact, I believe an inch of it’s wrecking havoc inland as we speak!

The polar vortex is the result of several factors combining, it is not an entity waiting to drop on us from its' hiding place.

The question is not: Can we survive global warming? The question is: Can we survive the ones who are brain dead and interfering with attempts to effectively deal with global warming?

I wonder if anyone can accurately predict the next Polar Vortex. Welcome to Global Weirding.

Wait until we get a heat wave that collapses the grid. It will make the 70,000 dead in the European heat wave of 2003 look like child's play. Most people have already forgotten about that one. (Then watch Fox News march out and say, "Who could have known? Why didn't anyone anticipate this kind thing!" )
