'Life-threatening' conditions are likely for tens of millions.
In the coldest areas, the combination of high winds and frigid air mean frostbite will be possible for anyone caught unprepared outside for as little as 10 to 20 minutes.
The storm is likely to qualify as a "bomb cyclone" since it will intensify at a rapid rate, through a process known as bombogenesis. Such storms typically are seen along the East Coast, but they can occur in the Midwest as well. Outages related to the strong cold front could occur in the South, Southeast and up and down the East Coast, too.Some areas may even set records for their biggest temperature plunge in a short period of time, with computer models showing the potential for a "flash freeze" as the temperature drops 30°F to 40°F in just three hours. This sudden chill will be accompanied by strong winds.
