Much of the United States will either get a White Christmas or a bitterly cold one, as the forecasts for the country see snowstorms and temperatures in the deep south as low as the 20s.
Forecasters are warning of treacherous holiday travel and life-threatening cold for much of the nation as an arctic air mass blows into the already-frigid southern United States, with experts predicting the 'coldest Christmas in years.'
The coming week has the potential for 'the coldest air of the season' as the strong artic front marches across the eastern two-thirds of the country in the days before Christmas, according to the latest forecasts from the federal Weather Prediction Center.
The National Weather Service is predicting a 'major snowstorm' from the southwest and midwest to the eastern seaboard on next weekend, as Christmas arrives on Sunday.
According to AccuWeather, the storm may begin Wednesday in the Rockies, with snow potentially showing up as far south as Dallas and Nashville.
The storm will likely head toward the east coast, but as rain, as we hit the weekend, with one meteorologist telling the New York Daily News that flight delays and cancellations are to be expected.
Regardless of weather you get snow or just freezing rain, you can be expecting a chill as Santa arrives on the 25th.
'We're looking at much-below normal temperatures, potentially record-low temperatures leading up to the Christmas holiday,' said Zack Taylor, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
The polar air arrives as an earlier storm system gradually winds down in the northeastern U.S. after burying parts of the region under two feet of snow.

Or maybe nuclear war with the Russians. 😀🤪😁🤗😆
Wow. Snow and cold temperatures in the winter. Whod’a thunk it?
Hmmmmm… did the editor let that slip on purpose…?
It’s a nice ZERO degrees here in Northern Wisconsin at the moment.
If I live to be 100 years old, I'll never forget about that big snowstorm of a few years ago. Why the weather just closed in and...well, you might not believe it but we almost missed Christmas...I don't know what we would have done without Rudolph to pull us through."
We have a little excess global warming here. Would you like some? 😆🤪😀
This is what happens when Americans have yet to make abortion on demand available and free up until the time of birth, or something like that.....
Putin's Fault!Tm
Ah, yes. But, “global warming!”
In fact, global warming will likely cause the oceans of the world to freeze over. This will be because the polar ice caps will be melting, sending all that frigid water down towards the Equator, causing all those oceans down there to freeze, not to mention turning the rain forests into a frozen winterland. Any polar bears escaping the heat of the Poles will need to make their new habitat in these now frozen rain forests. And it will all be because of global warming.
Nobody should be allowing SCIENCE DENIERS into their homes over the Christmas holiday. In fact, they should be made to sleep outside in the snow in their barefeet and given only a thin blanket. That'll teach them to be a little more scientifically minded.
I’m on the MS Gulf Coast and we’ll be having lows in the low-mid 20s over the weekend.
No wonder AOC’s “Greta Moment” crashed
A cold Chr*stmas holiday weekend, then back to seasonable temperatures...yawn. Man up, America...don’t let the media lead you around by the nose.
My son and his fiancé are driving to Kansas on Thursday and Friday (from Georgia)… I’m worried for them! I am going to insist they take some zero degree sleeping bags with them, plus matches, etc.
Yes, Please petition God to send some our way.
Before April.
25 degrees here in South Alabama...
It. Happens. Every. Single. Winter.
Before April.
Well, God answers all prayers, but sometimes He says, not yet. You must prepare yourself, for the possibility, that God might say, wait till April. 🤪🤗😆😀😁😅
lol. Different strokes. In my older years I have gotten into cold weather camping. I camp in weather like this.
God has a sense of humor when man claims to control the climate:-)
“I am going to insist they take some zero degree sleeping bags with them, plus matches, etc.”
Food, water, flashlights, crank radio that will charge cell phones... Having grown up in western NY, and lived in Alaska for 20 years, I know you can’t be too careful.
