The winds produced by this cyclone froze in the Midwest, with temperatures colder than Antarctica, which paralyzed the lives of millions of citizens.

Temperatures drop to -30 degrees, icy winds were considered a danger for twelve states in which they had to interrupt postal services, school clbades and even trade. Residents were forced to stay at home after this cold spell, which has been considered the most extreme in years.
