Why is it so cold in the United States?

The frigid air mass flowing southward was in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean a week ago, not far from the North Pole.

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

You'll want to bundle up like it's the middle of winter this morning!

But good news if you're not a fan of the cold. Temperatures quickly rebound to near average tomorrow into the weekend.

Get alarmed! #DYK #pets have a higher risk of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning?

CO impairs the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body's red blood cells. Organs that require high amounts of oxygen like the❤️and🧠are most affected. CO alarms save lives. Be @mcfrs safe. #dogs #cats

The BEEP that could save your life.
When you change your clocks, test your alarms! Smoke alarms are designed to WAKE you & give you time to safely escape during a fire.

Smoke alarms? One of the smartest ways to #besafe. @mcfrs Chief Smedley's Top 8⃣ tips: https://t.co/cdsxj6dg0W
