Unfortunate Weather Forecast Graphic Looks Like A Pair Of Boobs

Unfortunate Weather Forecast Graphic Looks Like A Pair Of Boobs

The graphics definitely caught the attention of viewers

In case you missed it, there's been a bit of snow today. But while it may have made your morning commute a bit more difficult, spare a thought for our cousins in the United States, where conditions have been much tougher.

However, while a news station across the pond was reporting on the plummeting temperatures and blizzard conditions, an unfortunate choice of graphic grabbed the attention of viewers - and not for the right reasons.

Anchors at WLKY News Louisville were highlighting the 'polar vortex' that is set to sweep across the Midwest and East Coast of America this week, causing temperatures to fall to almost -30C, which was supposed to be explained by a handy image.

Instead, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the graphic looked more like a pair of boobs.

Whoops.

No sniggering at the back, we're all adults here. And of course it was an accident - it's not as if they would do something like this on purpose.

Have we all composed ourselves? Good. The cold spell is actually proving to be one of the worst since records began.

It has become so cold in some areas that residents are being warned to be careful when trying to breathe outside.

Meteorologist Ryan Maue said Chicago will be colder than the North Pole tomorrow.

He tweeted: "The Arctic Ocean including North Pole will probably be around -20F but that's normal over the snow covered ice."

With temperatures set to plummet to lows of -26C, the National Weather Service has warned people in the Illinois city - and Iowa - to cover their mouths as much as possible in order 'to protect [their] lungs from severely cold air', with additional instructions that they should 'avoid taking deep breaths' and 'minimise talking'.

According to FlightAware.com, over 1,600 flights will have been cancelled today and yesterday as a result of the cold weather, including more than 760 in and out of Chicago airports.

Meanwhile, a state of emergency has been declared in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois, as well as in Alabama and Mississippi.

The warning said that 'dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as five minutes' and also told residents to keep their skin covered and make sure pets are indoors.

'Polar vortex' is the term used to describe the mass of low-pressure and cold air in the atmosphere above the Arctic.

Throughout the winter months in the northern hemisphere, this mass expands and pushes cold air southward with the jet stream.
