Bitter cold weather has taken hold of much of the northern United States and is expected to stay put for days to come into the New Year.
Forecasters warned of hypothermia and frostbite from arctic air settling in over the central U.S. and spreading east.
The National Weather Service reported International Falls, Minnesota, the self-proclaimed Icebox of the Nation, plunged to 37 degrees below zero, breaking the old record of 32 below set in 1924.
Hibbing, Minnesota, bottomed out at 28 below, breaking the old record of 27 below set in 1964.
‘Bitterly cold arctic air will settle in across a large swath of the U.S. as we turn the calendar from 2017 to 2018,’ said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski.
‘People will really need to bundle up if they are heading out Sunday night for New Year’s Eve celebrations in places like Chicago, for example, where the high will be 15 F on Sunday, around 15 degrees below normal.’
