Here comes polar vortex TWO: Just when you thought it was safe to go outside... another blast of arctic air to hit country next week

    Experts don't expect temperatures as severe as last week's chill
    New cold-front is expected to hit the East Coast on Thursday
    Most of the country's temperatures will remain above zero degree - unlike the last Polar Vortex
    Cities near the Great Lakes should expect lake-effect snow

If you live in the American Midwest or East Coast, you may want to hold off on putting away your winter gear.

Just as temperatures are beginning to warm in much of the U.S, another arctic blast in the form of a polar vortex appears to be on the horizon.

The upcoming front of icy temperatures is expected to bring arctic air to southern Canada and then move into the northern plains of the U.S. before moving to the Midwest and East Coast - each of which is still recovering from last week's frigid temperatures.

I resupplied groceries and other incidentals today. The storm last week was a whopper, but now, it's all melted. I'm ready for another big one, and since it's winter, doubt we will get off with just one snow storm.

Will you guys please tell the CIA weather control machine operators to stop doing that? They are screwing up the Gulf Stream and it is getting cold here!

Seriously, though - food, water, light and heat. Make sure you all have them. Lay in a few newspapers too. You can wrap anything in the freezer in newspaper (or bubblewrap) and stick it outside to keep it solidly frozen if you lose power. If the power goes out, make sure only one light is on and flick the breakers on everything else if you don't have a generator.

The light will tell you when the power is back on again and a lot of secondary power failures are caused by the sudden demand as everything tries to come on again at once when the power is restored. That surge tends to blow transformers.
