I still have no idea why British media covers American stories like this better than our MSM whore media does.

Brace for the 'flash freeze'! Polar Vortex set to bring bitter cold to all 50 states on Monday will cause temperatures to plunge to -35 degrees in the Midwest- making antifreeze FREEZE

Residents in the Midwest are bracing for a 'flash freeze' set to send temperatures plummeting as low as -35 degrees Fahrenheit (-37 Celsius).
The severe cold snap will be caused by a polar vortex pushing arctic winds down into the US, where all 50 states - even Hawaii - are expected to experience below freezing temperatures next Monday.
More than 212 million Americans will affected by the bitterly cold conditions, CNN reports.
However, the icy weather will be at its most extreme in the Midwest, where preparations are already in place to close schools and roads for fear of fatalities.
In some areas, temperatures will be up to 30 degrees below average. Meteorologists predict it could get so cold that car antifreeze could solidify.

The National Weather Service has warned that the flash freeze will 'quickly turn any wet or slushy roads to ice,' and create dangerous driving conditions.
Areas of Minnesota and Iowa will likely get so cold that it could be unsafe for children to leave home and attend school.
'As temperatures fall some 25 to 30 degrees below seasonal averages, arts of the Upper Midwest will near the thresholds necessary to cancel, or in the case of 2021, virtualize classes,' CNN meteorologist Pedram Javaheri stated.
Officials in St. Paul, Minnesota, say they will cancel classes on Monday if the forecast still shows that the temperature will be below -25 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meanwhile, there are also concerns that rivers flowing through the Midwest could freeze over, creating water traffic problems.
'Areas to the south of Minnesota - the lower portions of the upper Mississippi and the Illinois River - are seeing relatively decent flows and levels are good for navigation, especially around St. Louis, but extreme cold outbreaks give us a concern for ice bites, which takes flow out of the river,' Justin Palmer, a hydrologist with the North Central River Forecast Center in Minnesota, told CNN.
'Ice gets created in the pools, we drop a lot of flow, which drops stages and becomes an issue for potential groundings.'
Not even Hawaii will be immune from chilly temperatures, which have already arrived in the Aloha state.
Temperatures dropped down in the 50s in many areas on Thursday, with Jason Shitanishi, chief of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Honolulu Farm Service Agency telling The Star Advertiser: 'I haven't been that cold in a long time'.
Snow even fell atop Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Maui’s Haleakala on Thursday. Rangers closed roads near the summit of Haleakala, citing ice on the road and dangerous driving conditions. It is the third year in a row that snow has been reported near the peak of the volcano.

Brace for the 'flash freeze'! Polar Vortex set to bring bitter cold to all 50 states on Monday will cause temperatures to plunge to -35 degrees in the Midwest- making antifreeze FREEZE
- Polar vortex is expected to bring below-freezing temperatures to all 50 states next Monday
- At least 85 percent of the country will be affected by the icy temperatures; in parts of the Midwest, temperatures are now predicted to fall as low as -35F
- Meteorologists predict it could get so cold that car antifreeze could solidify
- Officials in some parts of Iowa and Minnesota are considering closing schools on Monday as it could be unsafe for children to leave home
- The Northeast will also be affected by the big freeze after finally digging out from Winter Storm Olena; temperatures will plunge below already-icy averages
