Ranked dead last, or perhaps not mentioned at all, would probably be the only state that sits partly within the Arctic Circle: Alaska. But 2025 is off to an interesting start as far as the weather is concerned.
Research has found that rising temperatures in the Arctic are weakening weather systems that normally trap the cold around the poles, making winter weather more chaotic.
A mass of air called the polar vortex has escaped the Arctic and plunged southward. Some scientists see the fingerprints of climate change.
A strong polar vortex in the stratosphere has brought subzero temperatures to the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and deep into the South.
States in the polar vortex path include Maine ... Parts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Utah and Idaho could also experience below-zero temperatures. The Rockies, northern ...

The polar vortex, a swirling mass of cold air located over the polar regions, is responsible for the cold. COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Arctic blast arrived in central Ohio on Monday, bringing with it the coldest air that central Ohio has felt in more than two years.
And if the polar vortex is to blame. First, a quick refresher on the polar vortex. The polar vortex is a region of very strong winds that form a circle around the North Pole. The vortex is located ...
Understanding the Polar Vortex The polar vortex is like a massive whirlpool of frigid air moving around our planet's poles. Think of it as a barrier that, when strong, keeps icy polar air trapped up north.
You also notice the end of the forecast indicates the polar vortex may be making another swipe at Michigan in mid-February. At that time of year it can still be a very cold outbreak. However it ...
