Biting cold keeps temps down? Who writes these headlines?

Re killing off the fleas and mosquitoes, I'll say it might work with the fleas - if their eggs aren't already dormant, but the verifiable biggest mosquitoes in the world inhabit northern Minnesota in the summer, so the freeze doesn't diminish their summertime numbers, nor size

"it's not like the air was created in the Arctic or the Arctic can claim any kind of ownership."

If the air mass acquired its characteristics in the Arctic, and then came here with those characteristics still more or less intact, I think the term fits.

please bring your pets inside and/or stuff their dog houses with straw so their body heat is retained. blankets absorb moisture and are not effective.

There is a tendency for cold weather in January. No real news.

Arctic Air is a bit of strange term. I mean it's not like the air was created in the Arctic or the Arctic can claim any kind of ownership.

Right about the pests. I saw iris blight this summer that almost wiped them out, after 5 years of deer and rabbits couldn't.
