Here's why Canada and US are freezing!
Environment Canada issued extreme cold warnings across the country, advising residents to prepare for very cold conditions between Sunday and Wednesday.
This is because the US and Canada are bracing for a polar vortex collapse in mid-March.
The polar vortex collapse will bring extreme winter and major travel disruptions to both countries.
According to reports, a polar vortex collapse occurs when the strong winds that normally circulate around the Arctic or Antarctic break apart, allowing frigid air to spill southward into lower latitudes.
Instead of staying trapped near the poles, the air moves southward, bringing freezing temperatures to places in North America, Europe and even Asia.
This results in many regions receiving unparalleled extreme cold waves, snowfall, and icy conditions.
