Powerful cold front forcing frigid conditions to central and eastern U.S.

Wind Chill Warnings are in effect for more than a dozen states as a powerful cold front brings life-threatening air mass from the North Pole.

Winds of up to 50mph and subzero temperatures in the U.S.  Midwest are plunging the wind chill readings as the arctic air continues to surge into the Great Lakes region.

“The core of the cold air settles across the region tonight. This will result in low temperatures well below zero and widespread wind chill readings of 35 to 45 degrees below zero are expected through Tuesday morning. Limited outdoor activity is advised for tonight and Tuesday morning. If you must be outdoors, wear layers as well as a hat and gloves. Frostbite can develop on exposed skin in as little at 10 minutes with wind chills this low.” NWS reported.

The entire Midwest is experiencing a propane shortage

The supply shortage in the upper Midwest has caused delivery delays and reduced delivery amounts for propane customers in at least 33 states, including ALL Midwestern states, and  D.C., as of posting . The propane shortage has been caused by a combination of unusually cold winter temperatures, closure of a major pipeline supplying propane to Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa and increased propane demand for grain drying due to a wet fall, said the Office of Governor Scott Walker in a statement.
