But Mr. Weatherman, Why is it so darn cold out?

In Eau Claire, we have been experiencing an exceptionally cold March. Well, we aren't alone. The entire Midwest and East Coast of the United States has been in the icebox much longer than usual this year. But why, despite our calendars telling us that spring has arrived, is the weather still ready for Santa to make a second appearance? The answer: an abnormal jet stream path. The jet stream this year is causing our part of the country to experience temperatures much colder than normal and other places, like Maine and far eastern Canada, to experience much warmer temperatures than normal.

The following article will help to explain why your winter blues are going to be hanging around longer than usual.
