Deep Freeze in Midwest, Northeast to Be Prolonged
Bitterly cold air is again settling southward from the Arctic into a large part of the Eastern states. Unlike the outbreak from early January, this time the cold will have more staying power.
Into the first part of next week, the polar vortex will hover just north of the United States border causing waves of frigid air to blast into the Midwest and much of the East.

De Blasio �getting back at us� by not plowing: UES residents
It really is a tale of two cities � this time with the tony Upper East Side getting the shaft!
Huge swaths of the city�s wealthiest neighborhood had been not been plowed by early Tuesday evening, leaving 1-percenters out in the cold, according to the city�s own map of snow-plower activity.
�He is trying to get us back. He is very divisive and political,� said writer and Life-long Upper East Sider and mom Molly Jong Fast of Mayor de Blasio.
�By not plowing the Upper East Side, he is saying, �I�m not one of them.�
I do not doubt that in the least - de Blasio has quite the reputation for being a petty tyrant. Not into big cities but I feel sorry for those people living in New York city...
