A fresh wave of arctic air is sweeping across the U.S., ushering in another weekend of below-freezing temperatures and widespread snow showers. A significant portion of the central and eastern U.S. will experience snow, particularly in Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The most severe wind chills, potentially dropping to -35 degrees Fahrenheit, are expected in Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.
So, brr, cold
But also, a reminder that winter can be a magical time of year. The crisp air, the blanket of snow, and the twinkling lights create a picturesque scene perfect for snuggling up by the fire with a warm cup of cocoa.
