An arctic blast took hold of the continental United States in the middle of January 2024, ushering in far-reaching subzero temperatures and snow.
The frigid winter air spread across most of the country, even extending all the way down to the bottom of Texas.
While the Midwest received more winter weather and heavy snow, cites along the east coast like Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City received the most amount of snowfall from this system in almost 2 years.
