The high temperature on Monday is forecast to be -6 degrees thus far. This will be the 4th day in 2 weeks that schools will probably be cancelled, as well as other normal weekday activities will be interrupted, or shut down. I am glad that school has been for health and safety reasons. This polar vortex will be the 2nd for this year. Warm Arctic, cold continents.
