The United States is facing a dangerous cold snap, with polar temperatures reaching -30 degrees Celsius and a wind chill of -45 degrees Celsius. More than 220 million people are on alert, with the death toll reaching 20-30. One million households are without power, mainly in the American South. The situation is worsening due to an ice storm and falling trees. New York City mourns eight deaths from the worst snowstorms in half a century, while airports are paralyzed with over 20,000 flights canceled. The cold snap has also affected Canada.
