In late January 2014, the central Kentucky area (as well as much of the eastern United States) got a serious cold spell courtesy of "The Polar Vortex". I absolutely love that name. It would be a perfect name for a race horse or a boat. You can really capture cold in pictures, but you sure can with a thermometer. Below is a gallery of what we dealt with for several days in January. I've left this page up for historic purposed just in case anyone still wonders why we moved to Florida.
