A winter weather system and cold blast are set to impact nearly every state and bring what the National Weather Service is calling a ‘once-in-a-generation event’ to the United States – crippling travel just days before the holidays.
The strengthening storm will bring more than a foot of snow and possible blizzard conditions to the Midwest, as the weather service warns of ‘life-threatening’ wind chills for millions.
More than 90 million people are under winter weather alerts and more than 87 million are under wind chill alerts. The warnings stretch across 37 states, and dip as far south as the Texas/Mexico border, where thousands of migrants are attempting to cross – sleeping rough, or in flimsy tents – before Title 42 expires.

The cold will stick around for the holiday weekend, making this the coldest Christmas in roughly 40 years for portions of the Plains and Midwest, Thursday bearing the brunt of the weather system.
