Winter COLD is coming at us….
A blast of super-cold arctic air is bringing dangerous sub-zero cold to the U.S. Midwest and Northeast as the system cartwheels through the Dakotas into Chicago, Illinois, and on to New England.
By Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, Chicago will hit an astounding 20-to-25 below-zero Farhenheit, the National Weather Service said.
“This is dangerous, deadly cold,” said Richard Bann, meteorologist with the NWS’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park Maryland. “Exposed skin loses heat fast, like you don’t even know.”
Blizzard conditions are predicted across parts of the western Ohio Valley and snow is expected Tuesday through Wednesday from the Great Lakes area into New England, the weather service said.
“Most of the snow will be in the Dakotas, the Twin Cities and Central Michigan, where they might get a foot or more,” Bann said. “Upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire will see less than a foot. Boston and cities in the east will get less than an inch.”
“But it’s going to be cold throughout the east coast,” he said. “Even parts of Mississippi and Alabama might see an inch or two of snow before this is over.”
But Chicago will take the main brunt of the super-cold weather….
