"polar vortex"
This one is annoying and was just made up out of the blue literally within the last 3 or 4 years.

December 1983, January 1985, and December 1989 were three pretty extreme examples from my childhood of this not uncommon displacement of arctic sourced air or "polar vortex" being displaced all the way down to Florida. They just called it an arctic outbreak or an "arctic blast" back then.
Not so much a term but more of a common statement you hear now during tornado outbreaks is the dreaded...
