- Title: Extreme weather timeline for January - July 2019
- Date: 28th December 2019
- Summary: Residents across the U.S. pulled out their heaviest winter coats as a torrent of polar air brought record-low temperatures to much of the U.S. on Wednesday (January 30). The bitter cold was caused by a displacement of the polar vortex, a stream of air that normally spins around the stratosphere over the North Pole, but whose current was disrupted and pushed south.
