A powerful surge of arctic air from Canada descended on the Central and Eastern United States this weekflorajogo, delivering record-breaking cold and life-threatening low wind chills even to regions accustomed to frigid temperatures.

The disruptive winter storm is forecast to bring snow and ice from the Central Plains to the East Coast.

In Milwaukee’s East Side on Tuesday, voters were supposed to be braving the cold to choose a new alderman, but next to the Firehouse Station 6 polling site, a water main broke after frost penetrated it, blocking off access. Water filled the street and sidewalks six inches deep in some spots. Tires froze to the streets.

“People in Wisconsin are generally pretty hardy,” said Emma Nelson, a chief election inspector. “But there’s a lot of people that, if they were already on the fence about coming down, this weather may be prohibitive for them.”

The National Weather Service warned that this “widespread extreme cold threat” would send temperatures plunging 30 degrees below average near the Canadian border for the next couple of mornings. Numerous daily temperature records were likely to be broken, with below-zero high temperatures from Montana and the Dakotas to the upper Midwest and sections of the Central Plains. Freezing conditions may reach even the Gulf Coast by Thursday morning.

Extreme cold warnings and cold-weather advisories were issued for areas across the northern Plains and upper Midwest down to central Texas, potentially affecting millions of people.
