It is dangerously cold across much of the United States and Canada, care of the polar vortex, and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

As always, if you have recommendations for how people can help or direct resources to organizations providing assistance during the cold weather, please feel welcome and encouraged to leave them in comments.
We got a little bit of snow last night, and the roads were very slushy and treacherous for a few hours, but the biggest thing with which we had to contend was the wind, which was intense. Woo. Our heat is still on — touch wood.
How's everyone else doing?
