60 Million Americans Under Freeze Alerts As Powerful Arctic Blast Crashes Temps Nationwide

As highlighted in last week's article (view here), temperatures across the Lower 48 are diving as a cold blast pours in from Canada. These bone-chilling temperatures come just in time for Halloween. About 250 million Americans are feeling below-average temperatures, while 60 million will be under frost or freeze alerts.

According to private weather forecaster BAMWX, the cold air invasion has already begun:

A lot of record cold lows on the table to start out November. 20s all the way down to Central Texas with temperatures 15 - 20F below normal.

We first called for a major Halloween cold front 2 weeks ago and it is here.

Fox Weather said the cold blast will affect more than "250 million Americans from coast to coast," while 60 million Americans, from Big Bend of Texas to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, will be under cold weather alerts.

Meteorologist Beau Dodson said the worst cold weather will be on Wednesday morning. He showed on a map where "new record low temperatures will be possible."

If it weren't for climate change, millions of people would be freezing to death instead of just being cold.

Not here... We're warming up. 40s all week, and I think the snow will be gone today or tomorrow.

We had a cold snap (low 50's), and it was windy AF up here in the foothills.  It is also warming up again, but it won't be in the 90's again.  I think it's windy today, too.

This is the snowiest Halloween I can ever remember. In fact, I can never remember a snowy Halloween. I remember a lot of cold, rainy ones but never one with a blizzard. You know, it's almost like the weather is getting colder.
Which can't be true due to global warming. 

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

If it's warm, it's global warming. If it's cold, it's "just weather".

We've had temps into the single digits above zero and have about a foot of snow on the ground.
My grandchildren's godmother's cousin was found down by the railroad tracks frozen to death, just a couple nights ago.
Never underestimate Winter.

Especially if you are in a State with the word "Dakota" in it.  Sorry to hear this....

  How sad.

Isn't it common for a hot summer to be followed by a cold winter (as in hotter and colder than "normal")?

*SMH* That's a fact.

And a cold winter followed by a hot summer. I've heard that one for many decades.
 If it were true, then all we'd have is hot summers and cold winters.

True, but it tend to predict a trend... which is also true... The winters here as a boy were harsh, culminating as a Young man into expected deep snow, and at least a week or two straight of perilously below zero weather... then through my thirties and into my forties mild winters (and summers)...

It's  just coming back around.

My first five or six years in North Dakota were brutally cold, with lots of snow. They have been a little milder, with a few dry years in there. But we are back to snow, and likely cold again. It's a cycle.

Yeah... I'm all for it coming back around... A good winter will send all the Californicators packing... And so much for global warming.

I was born in the late forties. I've lived all my life in the upper Midwest and most of my childhood and into my thirties I remember mostly brutal winters with lots of snow. A week or two of lows of thirty below zero was pretty common. The whipping wind from Canada was the worst. I'd pray for above freezing weather which often didn't arrive until March.
It was only until the mid to late eighties that the temps seem to have moderated somewhat.
The wife and I now spend two months in Arizona (guess which months), and winter doesn't seem so bad now.
We had my daughters and their children visiting last February from Minnesota where it got bone-chilling cold and they thought the weather in New Mexico (in the forties) was balmy. Even though the last Winter was the coldest one we've spent in Arizona or New Mexico.

I keep saying I am gonna go south for a while mid-winter, but I never do...

I mean, we have flights to Vegas here for a couple hundred bucks round trip... Now, Vegas doesn't interest me in the least, but rent a jeep and get 100 miles from town or so, and all that's left is to find an old desert rat with a porch and some sweet tea to bullshallate... I could do that for a while as the mountains are frozen below zero.

It was the beaver and martin that kept me... Cold winters make fine pelts... but I ain't been trapping for a decade, and fur ain't worth doing.

You just described my little corner of AZ....

Where did you live?  Marquette?

Yes....my porch is waiting for you!  The beer is on tap.

[cato potatoe]

The humidity is still 157% in Florida.  Send us your icebergs.

Seems every Halloween it gets good and frosty here... We had one frost early this year around Oct. 8th... but just normal cold, we usually get one or two 70s between now and Christmas. Just the South above Florida.

[Smokin Joe]

Temps here were in the teens for Halloween night. You could tell which kids were locals (on foot) and which were from out of State (parents driving them from doorstep to door step)...thin gloves versus thick ones. It's okay, they all got candy.

My first winter in N. Dak. was spent in Grand Forks, where I heard horror stories about how the mercury was going to dive below zero and stay there. While I'd known many tales to grow in the telling, I was suffering from a wee bit of culture shock, having lived in the mountains of Virginia for four years, and now finding myself on one of the flattest, most treeless places on Earth, so I decided to wait and see. Heck, the locals even talked funny.

The weather did not disappoint. We had a month with the high temperature (for the month, just one day) of zero. Thankfully, I shared an office with a brilliant young Captain in the Army who was last stationed in Alaska and was on his way to a double Masters' degree in Geology and Engineering, then to West Point to teach, who told me to dress in layers and I'd be fine. 

He was right. I survived.

Next thing I knew, the locals were all griping about what a hideous winter it was, and I didn't know any better!
