All I can say is Yippie! More days off school and I can.....QUILT!
The term Polar Vortex is not new. Weather people have been using the terms since the 50's or longer but we just now grabbed on to it for some reason. I found this short video from the TODAY SHOW a broadcast few weeks ago.
http://thehill.com/video/in-the-news/194828-al-roker-polar-vortex-is-real It is just a little snippet to help us be at ease with our wonderful winter weather this year and the news makers over use of "Polar Vortex".
Bottom line, enjoy the changes we have in our weather because that is what makes each year unique and memorable. Just ask your grand parents, great grandparents or read their diaries or letter. Quilt on Ladies and Gents, quilt on!
