A coast-to-coast storm is bringing heavy snowfall, powerful winds, the threat of thunderstorms and other extreme weather across the US.

Some western states, including Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota, are expecting up to 2ft (60cm) of snow.

Other states in the south, meanwhile, are facing a potential tornado outbreak.

The storm could affect millions of residents in nearly every state in the contiguous US, experts said.

The entire continent!

Expect many USA/Canada flights to be cancelled for rest of the week. Looks like it could let up by Saturday. Plan accordingly, travelers expect to be disappointed because of this extreme weather.

Bad weather again for North America. Blizzard Christmas 2022. Trini travelers in for a bad time.

A burst of Arctic air that AccuWeather meteorologists have been monitoring since last week is poised to plunge the eastern two-thirds of the United States into a deep freeze ahead of Christmas, bringing the coldest air in decades to some areas and causing heating demands to sky rocket.

The discomfort and pain that comes with frigid conditions is really horrible.
I remember ear, nose and finger pains and nose bleed when outside with back and neck pains after a full day of heavy clothing.
Getting out of a warm bed in the morning to face the day is a whole different story.
BTW, Florida aint a bed of roses either when a serious cold front moves in.

Heard the death toll from this is in the 30s in US. Temperature reached -45C.

Forgot I was test running my Escalade project I wasn’t driving yet with water in the coolant system over the summer. Thing was parked in my garage and it froze. Took my heater 2 days to warm the engine bay up enough to melt all the ice. Fingers crossed that nothing is cracked.
