Mother Nature surely has a cold heart.
Why else we should unleash what is being called the 'Valentine Vortex' on us.
When my bottom his the seat in my car early this morning, my handy-dandy odometer thermometer (say that three times real fast) was registering a brisk 11 degrees.
We're about to get a direct hit from a huge Siberian Express that is engulfing a large part of the country.
Suffice it to say that going outside this weekend will chill the hearts of Valentines everywhere.

We're expecting highs both Saturday and Sunday in the teens. Sunday morning our low temperature will be in the single digits, one of the coldest days in years. The record low temperature for Sunday is 2 degrees set back in 1979. We could give that a run for its money. The normal high is 42; the normal low 27.
Highs for the weekend won't get out of the teens. That's about 20 degrees or so below our normal highs.
And if that's not enough, we're staring at another chance of snow late Monday into Tuesday, which could morph into the dreaded change over to ice before it becomes all rain. Can you say power outages?
Then, oddly enough, we'll get a warm-up to near 50 at mid-week.
Need something to warm your heart?
How about this: The Phillies will be loading the trucks down at Citizens Bank Park this morning, and then take off for Clearwater, Fla., and the start of Spring Training.
Spring can't be far behind.
