Polar Vortex The Polar Vortex is a giant storm currently occurring in the U.S.A but it is not coming from any of the oceans, it is actually coming from the north pole. It is freezing everything, it is even effecting some of the warmest states such as Florida.
This massive storm is effecting almost all of the U.S.A. The polar vortex is a counter-clockwise rotating circle of freezing dense air with a calm center. The air in the middle is stuck and constantly getting colder. And then the winds that were encircling the air broke down and the cold air in the center moved thousands of kilometres south, to America. It has gotten much worse

As you can see, this is very devastating. This is actually the coldest temperatures the U.S.A has had in atleast two decades.
