Polar vortex returns to send half of US into a deep freeze for weeks (www.dailymail.co.uk)

From the post:

>A massive polar vortex has returned to the US and is expected to send half the country into a deep freeze through the rest of the month. Meteorologists said that extremely cold air from Canada is flooding south and sending temperatures up to 20 degrees below their normal January averages in some cities such as Chicago and New York. The prolonged winter blast is predicted to last until at least January 25, but forecasters at AccuWeather noted the polar vortex's effects could stick around for up to 14 days. The waves of arctic air have already reached Florida, triggering a statewide freeze alert Friday morning, with temperature falling below 40 degrees Fahrenheit in many areas.
