Winter Storm Elliott

Extreme winter weather is forecast to hit the Midwest with temperatures expected to plummet to below zero in some states.

"In this particular case, the air is expected to be very cold and to move quite far south, even into areas of the US that typically stay warm, like south Texas [and] Florida." Subzero temperatures have been forecast for the Dakotas and Minnesota, and many states are due to see the coldest Christmas in decades. The heaviest snow is predicted for the Great Lakes, with over a foot possible in some areas.
