Freezing air sweeps across nation
A bitter blast of arctic air is bringing below-average temperatures for millions across the country.
If the thought of frigid temperatures gives you the chills, then you may want to stay inside over the next few days because a bitter blast of cold air sweeping across the U.S. this week is threatening dozens of records.
If the frigid air wasn't enough, a fast-moving storm system known as a Manitoba Mauler brought snow to parts of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, including cities like Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee.

Dozens of records are in jeopardy through Thursday morning.
A chilly Halloween
Leading the charge this week, some areas experienced the coldest Halloween on record.
Bismarck, North Dakota, had a forecast high temperature on Tuesday of a bone-chilling 25 degrees, which would break the old record of 27 degrees set on Halloween in 1919 – more than 100 years ago.
Other cities that were close to breaking their old Halloween temperature records include Sioux Falls in South Dakota, Omaha in Nebraska and Detroit.
