The news is constantly talking about the “polar vortex” and how it’s incredibly cold outside. The Apple weather app says there’s an “extreme cold warning”
This is the first week it’s been cooler than -20C outside. This is what I remember as being normal for winter in Canada.
Everyone thinks it’s horrible because they’re being told how bad it is. Wear a hat, long sleeves, some gloves. You’ll be fine.
Can’t help but think the definition of cold has changed with our demographics
if I remember correctly, I think 2013/14 was the year they made up the "polar vortex" label - or at least the first year I was aware of it (the ice storm year in Toronto). They call every "cold snap" a polar vortex now - heck I saw the term applied to a high of like -7 in Toronto this year lol just typical medial sensationalism, but it is an interesting study of how easily brainwashed sheeple are, even when it comes to weather
Yes. Exactly.
