It's baaack.

The cold, that is. Maybe it's a polar vortex or maybe it's just winter, but either way it's about to get cold across the country again this week as arctic air pushes down from Canada. News of the impending freeze was met with fear, snark, and honest-to-goodness dismay on Twitter.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A SECOND RECKONING OF THE POLAR VORTEX TOMORROW. I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT YOU GUYS. I'M JUST NOT GONNA MAKE IT.

"So, Polar Vortex - you've frozen the entire country except Florida. What are you going to do next?" "I'm going to Disneyworld!" - John Russell (@offthebellcurve) January 20, 2014

So, what do you think? Is this just regular old winter, or time to run to the grocery store for bread, milk and a heavy dose of panic?

That first polar vortex was just a test of our defenses. This time, it will be an ALL OUT ATTACK. #runforyourlives #getbreadandmilk
