Bitter Cold Expected Until New Year In Midwest And Northeast

DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - A white Christmas for much of the Northeast and Midwest has given way to bitter cold until the New Year.

Metro Detroiters woke to bitter cold Tuesday morning as temperatures hovered around the zero range for much of the morning.

Chicago-area National Weather Service meteorologist Amy Seeley says to expect colder-than-normal temperatures the rest of the week.

Meteorologists warn of sub-zero frigid arctic air and dangerously cold wind chills.

Wind chill advisories or warnings are in effect for all of North Dakota and Wisconsin, as well as swaths of South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan and Indiana.

Wind chill advisories are also in effect for parts of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and New York. Meteorologists say frostbite is possible with as little as 30 minutes of exposure.
