POLAR VORTEX

It's gone cold. I mean properly cold. According to some sources, we're caught in something called a 'polar vortex' which I assume spins around the Arctic Circle and throws out icy weather like a sprinkler over Northern Europe.

I sat in my car, watching the white windscreen slowly crack and melt as the blower roared in my ears. The car in front emerged, as well as the bright blue sky and the houses catching the early morning sun. I flicked on the windscreen wipers and wiped the day into motion.

Someone on the radio was lamenting the new shape of Toblerone. They'll get used to it like they got used to Snickers and Starburst I reckon. I don't like Toblerone anyway, so it makes no difference to me.

Meanwhile (in apparently less important news) America decides what kind of country it would like to be and the rest of the world cowers in trepidation. Oh and a sports person did something exceptional but ultimately irrelevant while another football team is either going to win the league or crumble into predictable disappointment - I can never keep up with which is which.

Oh and we're in a 'polar vortex' which some bright spark said 'would have no effect on our weather'... which then made me wonder why they were talking about it at all.
