Nation Gripped by Cold for 30 Days Forecasters Say
Forecasters at the U S Weather Bureau predict a prolonged cold spell across most of the United States for about 30 days with the Northeast hardest hit. Only the far Southwest may remain above normal in temperature while Gulf Coast and eastern regions expect above normal precipitation and frequent snows north of the Carolinas. The pattern stems from Arctic cold air storage and a blocking weather pattern shifting the usual high and low pressure positions.
