Polar Vortex Window Frost

I thought I might remember the January 2019 "polar vortex" winter weather with a handful of photos.

When the weather is considered dangerously cold outside,

and you feel obligated to listen to weather warnings and stay in;

You might find yourself staring at the frost on the windows,

meditating on hot and cold; snow and ice; math, physics, and more;

and as you watch the weather decorate your windows, you might start imagining you are seeing dragons.

The Midwestern United States had some extremely cold weather at the end of January.  On Wednesday, January 30, 2019 the high temperature was -10°Fahrenheit and the low temperature was -20°F, with a wind chill of -47°F.  On Thursday, January 31, 2019 the high temperature was -2° Fahrenheit, and the low temperature was -23° F.  These unusually cold temperatures were due to a weather event called the "Polar vortex".  Schools, colleges, libraries and more closed, some 1-2 days in advance, due to the extreme cold.

WOW! Those captures are amazing! I read about the Polar Vortex in the newspaper. Looks like the movie The Day After Tomorrow could be a reality.
Scary, isn't it?

Veronica Lee said...

You asked how I removed reCapcha from my blog. I didn't - I think it's controlled by Google.

Suzy said...

Beautiful capture! We had -5 last week here in Pittsburgh and today, it was 65 degrees!

Lady Fi said...

OMG - so cold! Our -17 C is positively balmy in comparison! Your photos are gorgeous.

Cathy W said...

Beautiful!! I love frost. Your photos are stunning.

I'm almost envious of your Polar Vortex. Whenever your area goes cold, we go warm! We've been shoveling slushy snow in shirtsleeves, LOL!

What a beautiful series of frosty windows. Worthy of framing!

Angie said...

Very mesmerizing photos - I can imagine dragons (and many other creatures)! There is a benefit to the cold weather, especially if we have nowhere to go!

NCSue said...

Oh WOW!! Such lovely photos. I hope it doesn't get cold enough here for me to be able to take these shots, so I'm glad you shared yours with us at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2019/02/time-for-tune-up.html

Snowflakes make the most delicate shadows.
