Polar Vortex 2.0
Good morning, welcome back to Vlog moskow.
The polar vortex is back.
So I'm in the car, fixin to go to lighthouse beach.
Current temperature is minus seventeen.
And the first order of business is to see if the car will start.
Come on Betsy.
Oh that didn't sound good.
Ahhh, she doesn't like this.
There's reverse.
The steering's tight.
Transmission just doesn't want to go in to gear.
Everything's frozen up.
So my last polar vortex video was three years ago.
You know the weather man will say
A polar vortex like this happens every hundred years.
Yeah. Hit's every three years.
The sky is clear.
It's absolutely clear blue sky today.
That's the thing.
When it turns cold here in Chicago.
I mean really cold.
The clouds go away.
It's nice.
Now my wife, she's says when it's this cold.
It's too cold to snow.
I say that's a myth.
Going to lighthouse beach.
Yeah we've had some snow recently.
There's lake michigan.
I'm leaving the car running.
What are the chances of a car thief coming out and stealing my car today?
I don't see anybody out here.
Can't even see the lake.
It's just steam.
No swimming.
Water closed.
Yeah, no shit.
At the edge of the water you have ice flows.
It's like a dark mist over the lake.
I've got a hat.
I've got gloves.
The coldest thing on me is the exposed skin on my face.
Alright I'm heading back to the car.
It's cold.
That wind just whips across the lake and hit's you.
It's always like, feel like fifteen degrees colder down on the lake front in the winter.
Yeah, sure enough, no cars thieves have stolen the xb.
And there you have it.
Polar Vortex 2.0
I'll see you again in another three years.

We'll see you the next time on Vlog Moskow.

Presidents Day
Presidents day is next Monday. Actually it's Washington's birthday. Well some states don't celebrate Lincoln's birthday, so they lump Lincoln's in with Washington's. In Illinois we celebrate Lincoln's birthday on February 12th. I didn't get that day off work! We also get off the first Monday in March for Casimir Pulaski day. Who? Casimir Pulaski, revolutionary war hero. The father of American cavalry.

No deed goes unpunished ...
