It was Groundhog Day on Saturday, February 2, and weather-prognosticating resident rodent Punxsutawney Phil apparently did not see his shadow, which means spring should come six weeks early this year.
But spring can’t come early enough for many residents of North America that experienced historic low temperatures last week, courtesy of the Polar Vortex. According to AccuWeather.com, last Tuesday in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, a temperature of -77F (degrees below zero) was recorded. Brrrrrrrrrr–that’s the kind of weather that will dry your skin right out, if it doesn’t freeze your eyeballs first.
