The S.O.B. known as the polar vortex has come our way again, and with it, freezing temps.

According to my handy weather devices, it's a brisk 21° here at the Townsquare Towers.

A quick search and I found some surprising places around the globe that are warmer than the frigid tundra we call the Jersey Shore.

    The lovely town of Upernavik is 28°...still warmer than Jersey.
