Most parts of US reeling under severe cold conditions as winter storm trigerred whiteout conditions

Most parts of the US are reeling under severe cold conditions as winter storm has trigerred whiteout conditions. The holiday week is set to witness a multitude of weather hazards and travel chaos across the central and eastern parts due to blockbuster blizzards marking the winter solstice.

The weatherman has warned of drop in the temperatures by 20 or more degrees following a strong arctic cold front coming down into the central and southern Plains by this evening.

More than 50 million Americans in the northern Plains are affected by the brutal cold and dangerous wind chills while passing through the East Coast.

More than half of U.S. states are forecast to see some areas with minimum wind chill temperatures in the negative double digits. The coldest regions might feel wind chills below minus 50 degrees. It amounts to dangerously cold conditions across most of the country.
