Starting early next week, the dreaded polar vortex is expected to push south from the Arctic and deliver severe what could be the coldest temperatures of the winter and snow from the Northern Plains to the East Coast. Combined, it’s expected to cause travel problems, power outages, and possible school and business closings for some 67 million people.
AccuWeather also warns that the cold air could push as far south as the Florida panhandle by midweek and push temperatures from 10 to 20 degrees below normal.
