A dangerously frigid arctic air mass gripped a vast expanse of the United States on Thursday ahead of what could be one of the coldest Christmas Days on record, as a looming winter storm threatened to upend travel plans for millions of Americans.
Leading into the holiday weekend, the impending storm was expected to bring blizzard conditions to the Great Lakes region, up to 2 inches of rain followed by a flash freeze on the East Coast, wind gusts of 60 miles per hour and bitter cold as far south as the Mexican border.
The cyclone could spawn snowfalls of a half inch per hour and howling winds gusting to 60 mph from the Upper Midwest to the interior Northeast, producing blizzard conditions and near-zero visibility, the weather service said. Power outages were likely, and the storm was expected to make travel by land or air precarious or impossible at times.with travel plans to not delay and to set off on Thursday. "This is not like a snow day, when you were a kid, this is serious stuff."
Parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Plains could see Christmas Day weather that is near the coldest on record, according to the weather service.
