北極風(fēng)伴隨著雪和破紀(jì)錄的寒冷席卷了美國部分地區(qū)

Record-breaking cold and snowfall is numbing many parts of the U.S. from the Great Plains to the East Coast and north through New England. By Wednesday the cold snap is expected to spread farther south to the upper Texas coast in what is being described as an "arctic outbreak" by the National Weather Service.
