polar vortex

This polar vortex means business!

The reason New Jersey residents may be shivering today is due to the return of the weather-maker known as the polar vortex.

Federal forecasters say the upcoming winter looks pretty average in general.

Following a taste of spring this past weekend, the colder temperatures have returned to New Jersey. Maybe we shouldn't be complaining, though; the Garden State has experienced much colder winters than this one.

Check out the mood of your co-workers and family members, or scroll through your latest Facebook newsfeed, and you'll find almost everyone is already praying for the return of warmer weather.

As we all deal with the polar vortex (aka) the really cold weather, we're seeing more and more videos of people throwing hot or even boiling water in the air to see what happens in the sub-zero temperatures. Most had no luck, but I did an experiment of my own outside of the radio station and you may be surprised by the results!

We already shared a list of songs that fit the tundra-like environment we are enduring in New Jersey. While having songs that fit the mood is good, let's be honest, we prefer to be in denial.

A polar vortex sitting over New Jersey is causing record-breaking cold – and record demand for power.

It's cold out. Really cold. Why not cue up some songs that can at least fit the mood.

This morning as I was about to leave for work, I mentally crossed my fingers as I turned the key in the ignition. My car's battery is not that old, but with the temperature at 6 degrees and my car being out overnight, I knew even a brand new battery might have a problem. My car started with just a millisecond of hesitation, but the iPod I had left in the car was not so lucky.
