Polar Vortex about to Triple Dip on Leelanau!

December 4, 2025/in empire, Featured, Leelanau, news, winter

Accuweather shares that (along with much of the US) Leelanau County is facing a rare “triple dip” polar vortex:

“This Arctic air outbreak can be attributed to a displacement of the polar vortex,” AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok said. “The outbreak this week will be the first of probably three such rounds with it. Another cold blast is likely next week and a third the week after that,” Pastelok explained. “The waves of Arctic air will lead to significant surges in energy demands.”

The photo is from the Empire Polar Bear Dip way back in winter of 2007. It’s titled Extra Points for Sheer Insanity and was taken by Leelanau.com owner Andrew McFarlane. You can support his work through Patreon or by having Leelanau.com work on your website or social media!
