Record-Breaking Low Temperatures Expected Across US

People walking the half mile from the Chicago Aquarium to the Adler Planetarium brace themselves as wind and snow blow, Nov. 11, 2019, in Chicago.

A large section of the United States is facing an arctic blast that is making the mid-autumn season feel more like the depths of winter.

Hundreds of local low temperature records are expected to be broken in towns and cities from the Rocky Mountains, across the Plains and up and down the East Coast.

In Chicago, 15 centimeters of snow fell by Monday afternoon and led to nearly 900 flights being canceled at O'Hare International Airport. The slippery runways caused an American Airlines flight to skid off the runway.

Heavy snow is predicted in Indiana, Michigan and Vermont, with many other states expecting to see at least some snowfall.
