@chgowiz Maybe this is the last hurrah? We can hope, right?
@wulfric It's the Midwest and it's March. We need at least 2 more ice storms for Spring to feel safe enough to come out.. 
@chgowiz Looks like we'll be getting them too.

A strong Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) event over the arctic region is now starting and is forecast to create a rapid and full breakdown of the stratospheric Polar Vortex. This will bring cold surface arctic air into the central and eastern U.S. in the latter half of March.
Here are wind charts at 10 hPa (~30 km altitude) showing the splitting of the polar vortex now and into next week. The wind direction at that altitude will reverse as shown below.

@chgowiz we're getting up into the 60s next week! I say that as I watch the flurries fall.
