Even Concrete Dean is going to be cold it looks like!
Polar vortex 2016 will be ushering in frigid temps and snow to the central and eastern United States, dropping the mercury as much as 20 to 30 degrees below average in some parts of the country by next week.
The cold snap will "deliver a cold shock following record warmth during December," said Alex Sosnowski of AccuWeather. "The cold will also affect a large swath of the nation. While the core of the cold air with the arctic outbreak early this week focused on the Northeast, the outbreak next week will first plunge across the Rockies and Plains, before turning eastward."
