April Cold Snap Hits Over 45 Million Across Northern U.S.
A significant cold snap has affected over 45 million people across the Northern Plains, Midwest, Ohio Valley, and Northeast, with wind chills dropping into the 20s and 30s. This unexpected winter-like weather is due to a high-pressure system over the Northeast, which is channeling cold air from Canada into the region. Light snow has been reported in areas such as Upstate New York and New England, including Syracuse, with Boston experiencing snowflakes that did not accumulate due to warm ground temperatures. This cold spell follows a historic winter marked by cross-country storms and blizzards that left parts of the Northeast buried under feet of snow. Freeze Alerts are currently in effect for over 40 million people in the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic regions.
