50 Photos From Polar Vortex America That Will Give You Chills Just From Looking At Them
Imagine freezing the anti-freezer.
Extreme weather is getting even more common and experts are paying close attention to 2020. In Australia, it’s getting really hot, really smokey and simply impossible to breathe in some areas. Decent rain hasn’t fallen for months now and the fire continues to rage in hundreds of spots.
Meanwhile, it was -29C in some areas in America and Canada. It can get so cold in America that water and bubbles would freeze right when they are created. The polar vortex which is caused by strong winds that lock the freezing temperature in the atmosphere worsened the winter.
