But news articles about how the polar vortex is menacing the United States are so exciting and dramatic!  It's always so entertaining reading about how it is once again on the march, and how it is launching a full scale offensive featuring snow, ice, frigid winds, and sub-zero temperatures! 

How can you spoil these fun stories with facts and scientific data?!

...

In all seriousness, this was another interesting and educational post, so thank you for sharing it. 

As well, it would be really nice if national news media outlets would run your posts on a regular basis, since it would be genuinely educational and interesting.  If it resulted in more accurate and nuanced reporting about the causes of things like cold waves and snow storms, that would be a good thing. 

Regardless, thanks.  I look forward to reading your next post.
