A blast of arctic air is making its way across the Midwest and eastern U.S. this week, bringing frigid temperatures to major cities like Chicago, Washington DC, New York and Boston. Wind chills could reach 40 below zero in the Northern Plains, and short frostbite times could be a significant threat for much of the Central U.S. The winter chill will even reach into the South, including Oklahoma City, Nashville and Atlanta.
A group of tourists hiking up a scenic snowy mountain were caught up in a nightmare. A cascade of snow came down a mountain toward them, and then over them. They captured it all on camera.
The aurora borealis could make an appearance as far south as Maine and Michigan on Valentine's Day, and what better way to spend a romantic evening? You'll have the best view if you're far from city lights. So set up some folding chairs, bundle up and don't forget a bottle of wine to enjoy this surprise from Mother Nature on Friday.
