Record Cold Grips Midwest and Canada Deep Freeze
A United Press report details a brutal cold wave from the Canadian north to the Midwest. Temperatures hit 50 degrees below zero at Pas, Manitoba, and near 48 below in Warroad Minnesota, with over 50 deaths attributed to the cold. Rail and road travel crippled, coal supplies dwindled, and towns sought fuel while residents burned wood and improvised heating. Hospitals and services faced strain as people braved blizzards and drifting snow to seek care, with isolated emergencies managed by snowplows, bobsleds, and even horseback transport in some cases. Rising southern plains temperatures later suggested partial flood relief, while Chicago halted eviction orders due to the freezing conditions.
