Polar air and a powerful winter storm put millions under winter alerts this holiday week

For millions of Americans across a large swath of the country, the holiday week is beginning with unrelenting below-freezing temperatures made even more miserable by heavy snow expected Tuesday and Wednesday in several central and northwestern states.

More than 30 million people are under wind chill alerts across much of the central and northwestern US, including in places slammed with blizzard conditions by a separate storm system last week. Parts of Alabama and Tennessee are also under a wind chill watch as the “feel like” temperatures are expected to plummet below zero.

Possible blizzard for me. Too much of a white Christmas in my opinion.
 
i walk the dog in the park every day and the geese have not flown away for winter. They usually leave around Thanksgiving.

Oh, if only my fingers would allow me to play in this kind of weather. You can hit the ball a mile. Landing on frozen fairway is like landing on a macadam street. Ball just never stops.

But my fingers turn white...then blue. Raynaud's syndrome!
 
12 below zero here this morning in real temp. With windchill we have 25 below zero. Everybody stuck in this remember your animals! Let them out to do their business and then right back in. The deer will be ok. They will be way back in with lots of cover to hold the heat in. They like the swampery areas,....a lot warmer for them.

Por Dios, Stone, you need to move further south.

I saw minus 60 degrees on Resolution Island once.

It would take four strong men to get me to see it again.
 
Another month and we will be South and out of this crap . Late start this year,...wanted to leave right after New Years but nooooooooooooooooo....:laugh:

I do kinda miss having some genuine seasons here, but I made a vow to never drive on icy roads again.

It'll be the coldest Christmas in most of the US in over 30 years. Wind chill will also be a major factor.

Much of the U.S. will experience the coldest Christmas in decades
A blast of Arctic air will bring push temperatures 20 to 50 degrees below normal December temperatures.
Forecasters predict states from the Rockies to the Plains, to the East coast and the South, will be hit with subfreezing and in some cases subzero temperatures this holiday.

Temperatures are expected to fall between 25 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit below average December temperatures, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.

Denver is expected to suffer the sharpest temperature changes of any major U.S. city.

While Tuesday’s temperatures in the Mile High City were in the low 50s, the area will see the worst cold snap in 30 years beginning late Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

After the cold front hits, wind chills across Colorado could drop to the –20s to –50s degrees Fahrenheit. A life-threatening wind chill of up to –60 degrees Fahrenheit will impact the eastern part of the state, most of which is under a wind-chill watch.

Wind gusts could reach as high as 50 to 60 miles per hour in northern Texas through southern Illinois towards the end of the week, increasing the risk of power outages are traffic collisions, according to AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter.

Gusty winds will reach the Northeast by late Friday.

Forecasters are especially worried over the cold air and wintry weather‘s impact on Texas’s power grid, which has struggled to keep the lights and heat on during past storms.
