Polar vortex to send bitter cold to the U.S. including DC area
The polar vortex is a ring of cold air that typically circles the Arctic. A strong jet stream essentially acts like a fence, keeping it locked there. If there's any weakening in the jet stream (the fence), the frigid air can become unstable and spill out. This sends the normally trapped cold air much farther south.
Snow and winds are likely to disrupt traffic, trigger flight cancellations, and cause headaches for people traveling to D.C.
