Bundle up—starting Tuesday, the northeast is about to get hit with another Polar Vortex. With temperatures much lower than the balmy 50s and 60s we’ve seen over the past few weeks, it will drop below freezing tonight and could even reach as low as 22 degrees on Thursday.
A Polar Vortex is a mass of cold air drifting down from—you guessed it—the poles, bringing chilly temps to North America. Midwestern areas near Chicago could even see single-digit temps this week.
It’s too soon to tell whether we’ll have another tropical Christmas, though. And in case you forgot (or mentally blocked it out), 2016 got off to a frigid start with a Polar Vortex in February and yet another one in April. Yeah, 2016 wasn’t the best.
