최고관리자  |  19-01-30 11:10


According to AccuWeather, the freeze began Tuesday morning the Upper Midwest with a temperature of 75 degrees below zero Fahrenheit in Grand Forks, North Dakota. But, according to the weather website, the worst is yet to come as the so-called “polar vortex” is displaced from around the Arctic Circle and heads south into the lower 48 states. Officials have warned about hypothermia and frostbite, but residents will also have to deal with broken or frozen water pipes, dead car batteries, school closures, and high heating costs.
