In all my years I've noticed that a generous percentage of people are adaptable and can overcome some incredible adversity. A small percentage are unable to do so for many reasons. Some never had a chance, some due to circumstance.
Calling something mundane a "Polar Vortex" is at least in part an honest attempt to jolt the minority up to prepare and buy some wood or a jacket.
At least a small part.
