"What's the weather like?" a colleague asked this afternoon peering across my room to a pair of the rare windows in our school building.
"Gray and blustery," I answered, and we exchanged unimpressed looks.
"Did you hear that next week..." she started.
"we're going to get a polar vortex!" we finished together and laughed.
"Polar vortex?" she shrugged. "It's like the new thing. We're always getting them lately, and they sound so... dire."
I nodded in agreement.
"What did we used to say?" she asked.
"Cold snap?" I suggested.
"Cold snap!" she agreed. "Much less dire." She paused. "Have you seen the latest cabinet picks?"
