It's too cold for you here: Arctic outbreak in the US
Quote:
Monday is starting with temperatures in the 20s and 30s below zero over much of eastern Montana, North Dakota, northeast South Dakota, Minnesota, northern and central Wisconsin, and northern Iowa. Readings in the teens below zero have spread across the rest of Iowa and much of Nebraska, and even as far south as parts of eastern Kansas, northern Missouri, and central Illinois.
While a few areas in northern Minnesota have seen the wind die down, most of this region is still feeling relentless northwest winds of 10 to 30 mph, making this an exceptionally dangerous cold. Wind chills in the minus 40s and minus 50s are common across much of Minnesota and North Dakota, and 25 below to 45 below across the remainder of the aforementioned areas. At wind chills of 50 below zero, any exposed skin can suffer frostbite in as little as 5 minutes!
Daily record lows are possible Monday in at least two dozen major cities from Texas to the Midwest including Minneapolis/St. Paul, Kansas City, and Austin, Texas.
Monday's daytime highs, if you want to call them that, may not get to 10 degrees below zero as far south as Champaign, Ill., including Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Tuesday morning lows will again plummet into the 20s below zero over much of the Upper Mississippi Valley, teens below zero in much of the western Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, and below zero as far south as the southern Appalachians. Over 70 daily record lows may fall by the wayside Tuesday from the Deep South to the Northeast and Midwest.

Where I live, it's currently 6° and feels like -5°. Where I used to live, it feels like almost -25°. And some places are even worse off than that. This is absolutely insane. AND it's only getting worse from here.
Stay warm, US members.
