Winter storm brings blizzard conditions and dangerous wind chills to the Midwest
A potent winter storm brought blizzard conditions, treacherous travel and power outages in parts of the Upper Midwest on Monday as other areas of the country experienced plunging temperatures. A powerful winter storm has caused blizzard conditions and dangerous wind chills across the Upper Midwest, leading to power outages and treacherous travel. Other areas of the country also experienced plunging temperatures, strong winds, and a mix of snow, ice, and rain. The National Weather Service warned of whiteout conditions and potential travel difficulties in some areas. The storm system could be considered a bomb cyclone as it rapidly deepens from the Midwest into the Great Lakes. The strong cold front led parts of the central U.S. to wake up with temperatures up to 50 degrees F (28 degrees C) colder than a day earlier, and potentially dangerously low "dangerous wind chill" in North Dakota and Minnesota. More snow is expected in the coming days, but it will be "much lighter" than this. An EF1 tornado with estimated peak winds of 98 mph (158 kph) hit Illinois' Tazewell County on Sunday morning, destroying two outbuildings and snapping off numerous trees and power poles.
