think about winter when many regions are broiling in the sun right now, but there are enough indicators out there that this winter may be particularly brutal.\u00a0 We may have another record-breaking winter in the northern hemisphere.\u00a0 Scientists, climatologists, and meteorologists are all reporting a perfect storm of conditions coming together to brew up a winter as we have never seen before.\u00a0 In this video, I will explain these conditions as best that I can.\u00a0 I am not a meteorologist, by any means, but I can follow the science enough to know that if you\u2019re in Europe or the United States, you should be paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>And, as I have shown in other blogs, our aging infrastructure isn\u2019t equipped to handle the extended periods of extreme cold that are currently being predicted.\u00a0 Just ask anyone in Texas about that, as almost the entire state was left without power for many days this past February due to the extreme cold.\u00a0 Ice on sagging power lines and frozen pipes could result in an outage that can quickly escalate to a disaster for many.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of this video, I will give you a warning I would encourage you to heed.\u00a0 But for now, here\u2019s why this winter might be especially brutal\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b>POLAR VORTEX<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium
