Arctic Records Pile Up Across United States
A major polar vortex disruption has plunged much of the Northern Hemisphere into deep winter, with the US enduring one of the coldest/snowiest Januaries in decades.
Across the U.S., record cold has now settled in behind a powerful winter storm, locking much of the central and eastern states into prolonged, dangerous conditions.
The NWS has issued widespread extreme cold alerts stretching from the Plains through the South and into the East, with dozens of cold records already falling and hundreds more at risk through early week.
