Polar Vortex

Never heard this expression, 'polar vortex' before this year Wish it had never entered my vocabulary This is a winter like none we have experienced in many many years Bone chilling, beyond human endurance Not civilized, whether you were born in the north or not This is beyond that which we humans can tolerate It's off the charts, record breaking Spring has never been more anticipated than this year Let's hope it's not a sign of things to come Let's hope it's once in a a very long cycle To be remembered as THAT year Never to experience it again in our lifetime Never heard the expression, 'polar vortex' before Hope never to hear those two words again! © Jack Ellison 2014

Meteorologists have always used the term for cold fronts that come from the North... Someone just had fun using it this year... At least until the masses decided that... it must mean a megafold SciFi Disaster is unfolding... So they were told to stop using it on the weather reports... After all, No one wants their pants scared off in THIS COLD! LOL... PS. Mike and I got together and are writting a funny SuperBowl poem with Bruce Willis as the star... It will be out soon!
