Actually the whole country seems to me to be having a pretty normal cold winter.
The only difference is the cold arctic blast that blows down from the north every few winters is now called a polar vortex instead of an Alberta clipper or a Canadian zephyr.
I guess the TV weathermen have to come up with a new name for the same old thing every now & then to just make their boring work sound interesting.
