Polar Vortex Could Bring Freezing Temperatures to the US, Be the Coldest in a Decade
A polar vortex is expected to bring extreme cold and heavy snowstorms across the eastern United States. Temperatures could drop as much as 30°F below average, with some regions experiencing sub-freezing conditions as far south as Florida. The cold blast is set to affect areas like the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Appalachians, causing significant s...
