An arctic blast took hold of the continental United States in the middle of January 2024, ushering in far-reaching subzero temperatures and snow.

The frigid winter air spread across most of the country, even extending all the way down to the bottom of Texas.

Temperatures of up to -30 degrees were forecasted for most of continental United States. Wind chill in Minnesota and North Dakota registered at -60 degrees during parts of the arctic blast.

While the Midwest received more winter weather and heavy snow, cites along the east coast like Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City received the most amount of snowfall from this system in almost 2 years.
