"A surge of frigid air is barreling across the eastern half of the nation, unleashing snow and, in many locations, the coldest weather on record for this time of year.

The National Weather Service is calling it “the coldest surge of arctic air so far this season,” predicting 385 cold records to fall from the Plains to the East Coast through Wednesday.

In many locations, temperatures have bottomed out or will drop to 15 to 30 degrees below average. For tens of millions, the cold will barge in suddenly, with temperatures plummeting 30 degrees in 12 hours or less."
