A Polar Vortex with life threatening low temperatures is hitting the Midwest and North this week. The coldest temperatures in two decades. Officials are asking people to stay inside and certainly bring your pets inside. My oldest brother Gary lives in Rockford Illinois and was told not to take deep breaths outside because you can damage your lungs. I told him to fly down. It’s cold here in Florida but we are so LUCKY!!!
DETROIT, MI - JANUARY 6: A pedestrian walks along Woodward Avenue in the cold as the area deals with record breaking freezing weather January 6, 2014 in Detroit, Michigan. Michigan and most of the Midwest received their first major snow storm of 2014 last week and subzero temperatures are expected most of this week with wind-chill driving temperatures down to 50-70 degrees below zero. A "polar vortex" weather pattern is bringing some of the coldest weather the U.S. has had in almost 20 years. (Photo by Joshua Lott/Getty Images)
