Good grief. I made a reply video. 🙂

I guess the clue is in the illustration NCEP.

Cue Inhofe wheeling in a snowman next time he performs.

I knew that was temporary. I’m not an expert, but it seems to me with that huge area of really warm water off the coast, you either get abnormally warm weather (when the polar vortex is bottling the cold up north) or abnormally snowy weather (when the polar vortex breaks down).

BTW (spoiler alert: pedantry ahead), it’s nor’easter, since “th” are the removed letters. I think “noreaster” is also OK, although my spell check is flagging it. Also, “its” has no apostrophe unless it’s standing in for “it is”.

Now I’m going to stock up on toilet paper, chips and beer.
