It is quite mutual frigidness inwards America at the moment. For illustration inwards Park Rapids, Minnesota temperatures accept fallen equally depression equally -42F (-41C).
Joshua Stevens created the higher upwardly visualization of the polar vortex, which is causing the extreme conditions inwards the USA at the moment.
