Millions of Americans are preparing for a wave of dangerously cold temperatures and snow as a major cold front sweeps across the country. Wind chills are expected to make temperatures feel as low as -20°F (-29°C) in parts of the Midwest, Northeast, and South, with some areas facing up to a foot (30 cm) of snow. Regions such as Minnesota, North Dakota, and Michigan will experience the harshest conditions, where icy roads and snow accumulation will make travel extremely hazardous.
In addition to the snow and frigid temperatures, power outages are a concern due to the combination of high heating demand and the potential for ice and snow to down power lines. Emergency services are urging residents to stay indoors when possible and prepare for possible disruptions, including ensuring they have backup supplies like water, batteries, and non-perishable food. The storm is expected to last through the weekend, with conditions gradually improving by early next week.
