Wondering why the past few months have been cold in the U.S.? This is likely the underlying reason, sudden stratospheric warming. Sudden stratospheric warming results in a splitting of the polar vortex causing cool air to escape the arctic regions.

The dynamics of this whole situation has me frothing at the mouth.
