In the list of regions and States with the most difficult weather conditions were: Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and some areas of Kansas, Missouri, Montana and Nebraska.

The best thing you can do is to limit the time spent on the street.»

CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen warns: «the Worst is yet to come». To the South of the USA coming in even more cold cyclone.

WC MN we’re dealing w/some limited visibility in the open areas. Remember to turn those headlights & taillights ON and #MoveOver for those on the shoulder. This area was the I-94 about 10 miles east of Moorhead. Road info https://t.co/UtVIO3kuBr pic.twitter.com/yZG4NRC5Th

Meanwhile, the weather not only creates problems for the person, but also fascinating images that exceed all imagination. So, lake Michigan, the 5th largest in the world and the largest located entirely in the United States, became like a boiling cauldron. The effect of «boiling» occurs when the water temperature is higher than the air temperature.

Local residents share what they saw on Twitter and other social networks. Some joke that Chicago is now reminiscent of footage from the film «the day after tomorrow».
