Cohen explained that the polar vortex has been shifting shapes back and forth from a normal to a stretched state at an unusual frequency this year, which is resulting in all the cold snaps.

Polar bears need all the help they can get to survive their frosty Arctic environment. One of their biggest survival secrets appears to be greasy hair. The sebum –or hair grease–on their fur ...

Polar vortex explained “The polar vortex is a core of extremely cold air that typically remains near the poles,” explains Spectrum News NY 1’s Chief Meteorologist John Davitt.
