Extreme cold snaps have paralyzed large parts of the United States in recent winters. In February 2021, millions of people in Texas and other US states were without electricity, water and heat for days. In December 2022, extreme cold caused widespread outages in electricity and natural gas networks across much of the East.
According to the US National Weather Service, the weather disturbances will continue until at least Friday. Snow storms on the West Coast of the United States will likely move inland and bring extremely low temperatures with them. The Meteorological Service expected strong storms to hit the state of New England, located on the east coast, on Wednesday.
