More than 230 million Americans are facing brutally cold temperatures this week, resulting from an intense blast of arctic air. For the western, central and eastern U.S., the highs are 20-30 degrees colder than average. Plummeting temperatures like these could burst pipes and cause other property damage.
In addition, the cold air is combining with a low-pressure system to form a rare winter storm that’s sweeping through the South, bringing potentially record-breaking snowfall to states not typically impacted by severe winter weather. Snow has already started in Texas and is expected to head east by midday, reaching as far as Florida and the Carolinas by night. The National Weather Service is calling this a “generational winter storm event,” and it could also cause freezing rain, icy roads, downed trees and power outages.
