I didn't know that ....

Apparently the term Polar Vortex is not a newly coined description for the deep freeze that's encompassed a good portion of North America this past week. It was first described in 1953! Gotta love Wikipedia ...  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_vortex . Gotta love Mother Nature even more ... She's such an artist! (as is photographer Thomas Zakowski).
