It looks like the extreme cold that took over most of the country this week is on it’s way out. Here in New Jersey, we’re expecting a 50-degree weekend. It’s kind of crazy to go from -2°F to 50°F in the space of a few days, but there you have it.
Polar Vortex. It sounds like something that should be on SyFy on a Saturday night. (I should give it time… it probably will be!)
