The beginning of 2025 will be marked by the year’s first polar vortex, bringing snow, storms, and frigid temperatures that will impact the majority of the country and millions of Americans.
During the 2014 January polar vortex, more than 20 people across the country died from the cold as places like Georgia — which rarely see serious cold — dealt with lows under 10 degrees ...
