The polar vortex will soon hit the U.S.

[Sharky1203]

OMG, the horror. Cold artic air hitting the northern states in January. More proof of Climate change.

Flush it out? LOL Quite the freudian slip.

What's Freud have to do with my error?

You really are a stereotype.

A Freudian slip is when someone has a slip of the tongue that may reveal what they were really thinking. You wanted him to give more detail, but you accidentally said he should get rid of it which might be what you were subconsciously thinking about his comment.

Are the 'slips' supposed to make sense? I follow what you're describing, but don't get why I might actually think to 'get rid' of his comment or what that could even mean.

Either way, thanks for explaining your rationale and happy to provide a LOL.

NP. Unlike most of the people on here, I wasn't attacking you. I just thought it was a funny twist.

Didn't feel attacked and didn't realize most people on here attack me either.... I just didn't get the Freud reference - I don't think it really fits - but at least someone found humor in it.

I hate when people call a wind storm a derecho. Just call it a wind.

They shouldn’t even tell us when a derecho is coming. F——— losers who are only trying to stir up the people! Why even have meteorologists at all? Scammers!

The wind of August 10th, 2020 in Cedar Rapids was strong.

Wind on an August day? Yawn! Don’t let the media tell you it was windy you sheep.

 

[stillh8unlv]

for what, two days?

That's good, but it's no....

 

[Hawkfan_08]

We are half way through January.
Has it even been below 0 yet?

 

[McLovin32]

It's been below 0 multiple times in Cedar Falls, including this morning.

Oh, shit! Now you've gone and done it...

Hope you have plenty of bread and milk.

The Weather Channel gets much higher ratings if there's some sort of weather disaster happening, sooooo......

Big weather. I knew it

It wasn't in Iowa City. I'm sure it's been below 0 but I don't remember it.

 

[Herky T Hawk]

Drove to work with -8 yesterday morning and -3 this morning in the Twin Cities. This week is the first time this winter it has gotten really cold. Looks like Monday it is supposed to be -14 in the morning and get up to -5 as a high. My daughter has a softball tournament in one of the domes here that day. Hopefully it will have heat.

Just as long as Jen Carfagno is the one describing it!!!!

 

[millah_22]

I was about to type a similar thing. Polar Vortex is an actual thing, not some scary made up term for cold weather in the United States. No clue what he's trying to get at.

Polar vortex - Wikipedia

I love when call things they can actually research conspiracies.

 

[millah_22]
