America faces 'bomb cyclone' as -45C temperatures forecast that could trigger frostbite in mere minutes
Parts of the country have dropped to as low as -38C and there are fears an incoming “bomb cyclone” could make the weather even worse by Christmas.
In Des Moines, Iowa, temperatures plummeted as low as -38C – a temperature that could give a person frostbite in under five minutes, while -45C has been forecast for some parts. Frigid air has rolled from the central US to the east. Windchill advisories have been issued to about 135 million Americans.Kathy Hochul, the New York state governor, warned the weather will "wreak a lot of havoc in our community" and said there was a threat of flood and ice jams – when ice builds up and blocks a river’s flow.
