Better and earlier does this mean non stop snow for 2-3 months again because my uggs can't handle that much snow.

 

[BronsonLee]

WHAT
Oh christ

 

[theechrisfox]

I like snow days off work and my office actually does that so... bring on the vortex!

 

[Oppo]

I really really hope not. shit was not fun.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

It was back earlier this summer, it sucked

 

[Jarrod38]

i hope not.

 

[J-Roderton]

What's that mean? Another bad winter?

that's crazy!!!!!



wait you own uggs?!

 

[psylah]

Good. Fuck summer.

It's easier to stay warm than to stay cool.

Nature is telling you to get better boots.

 

[Sectorseven]

What is the polar vortex?

I thought this winter gets El Nino.

 

[jetpacks was yes]

oh NO

please no. not again.

 

[xsarien]

I swear to God if it does I may actually break down and cry.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

I hope not, don't want to deal with that again.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Not only is it coming back, but this time it threatens the very existence of humanity. Will the Fantastic Four save Earth from being sucked into the vortex?

 

[BronsonLee]

Nature is telling you to get better boots.

Dear Nature:
Fuck you figure out a better way to tell him that because goddamnit

 

[Battlezone]

Whatever the Polar Vortex was doing the rest of the country, it made Seattle's winter warmer and drier than usual, so bring it on.

 

[CLaddyOnFire]

Nooooo, Pittsburgh doesn't know how to handle snow so it just sits there on the roads. I wouldn't mind it if I was back in Chicago

 

[JaseMath]

Who is most impacted by this shit? Is there a map or something?

 

[marrec]

Its never coming back, we defeated it last year.

 

[Lambtron]

I seriously hope not. I am totally over winter.

 

[Noble Neckbeard]

Can't wait for massive metropolitan cities to shut down over half an inch of ice because "DAT WINTER STUFF NEVER HAPPENS HURR!"

 

[3phemeral]

The only good thing to come from the Polar Vortex is the slow thawing of the Great Lakes creating a cooler summer (at least, here in Michigan).

 

[Subitai]

Eh, the only real inconvenience it caused me was taking down a tree over my driveway. For me, there actually wasn't that much snow. It was just so cold that what did pile up took forever to melt away.

 

[Jarrod38]

Polar Vortex 2: Not even Hell can freeze over

 

[warthog]

I wish we had some weather like that. Here it's 1 month of good weather and then 11 months of shitty rain.

 

[BronsonLee]

It let us win, marrec! Now it's coming back for the real fight!

 

[marrec]

Depends on where you live in Pitt I guess. Our roads were always clear for the most part unless it was like, -30 in which case welp *shrug*

 

[BronsonLee]

Just so we're not all flipping out based on hearsay:

Accuweather's take on the situation

 

[CitizenVectron]

It's called winter.

Ya dingus.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Last year's frequent cycling between snowfall and thawing did a number on the roads here in Maryland. Really hoping it doesn't happen again. I fucking hate winter.

 

[Clydefrog]

are you an NPC in a JRPG?

 

[commedieu]

Coming back? This is how our seasons are.. it shifted due to gradual temperature change. Unless we some how fix that ( we wont ) this is our new "weather"

Science has spoken. Biz is prepping..

It's going to keep fucking us over financially too. Enjoy that summer Seattle

 

[Hypemaster]

No...please no. My shoes got destroyed because of it and my nose hair freezes. Worst winter ever.

 

[marrec]

We have to train even harder than before in order to defeat it's second, more powerful form.

[kennah]

Yeah... If we are in for another 70 days of-40 I'm moving out of winnipeg

 

[Protein]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I take it this Polar Vortex is connected to the early stages of long-term Climate Change? Someone science me.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Please no. The last winter in Michigan was brutal.

Fuck that, can I just do SNOW HIDE again like I did last time for like 3 weeks in January?

Last winter it wasn't even the snow in Pitt. It was the cold

 

[marrec]

Fucking University of Pittsburgh refused to cancel anything too. Bunch of frozen solid college students having to be removed from the streets daily because the campus is like 40 miles long and they had to walk the entire length in -30 degree weather.

Spoiler

There's some hyperbole in the above post.

Supposedly climate change is equated to more energy in the atmosphere, making weather more volatile. Not just temperatures but also severe weather patterns like hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards etc.
Thats how it was explained to me anyways, because I thought climate change was just global warming due to increased carbon monoxide. Apparently the energy can take the climate extremes both ways

 

[Arkos]

Should've accepted the Lord of Light

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I hope so! I love how unusually cool it's been this year. Seems like winter was super snowy and super was super mild. It was a dream.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Polar vortex 2014... we got this and nothing more.

Forunately, I can work from home on those days. So I would just point and laugh at people that had to go out.

Spoiler

Not really

 

[m_shortpants]

The polar vortex did a number on the US economy. That's how crazy it was.

 

[Jackbooted]

Instead of actually combating global climate change and solving weather pattern disruptions can we build some sort of giant robot to punch the polar vortex instead? Maybe pour some money in to a secret military program that will result in an anti-polar vortex missile?

 

[cdyhybrid]

Shouldn't you be getting ready for a preseason game instead of posting about your Uggs Tammy?

 

[guldakot]

Please no. The last winter in Michigan was brutal.

If we get another icestorm Im done with this state.
