Arctic blast freezes Midwest and Sierra snowbound towns
An AP report describes an extremely dangerous Arctic outbreak delivering wind chills to 70 below zero across the Midwest. Up to 10 inches of new snow fell near Cleveland as the cold snap expanded, while Sierra Nevada crews sought about 3,000 stranded people after a week of heavy snow. A fatal tractor accident occurred in Scotts Valley amid log clearing, and a search for a missing hiker followed a 34 inch snowstorm in Onondaga County. Wisconsin and Minnesota saw -12 to -27 F readings with warnings of 20 to 40 below expected, and further cold continued in New York and beyond.
