The US National Weather Service (NWS) warns that wind chills could send temperatures below minus 30 degrees Celsius.
Arctic storms have killed at least four people and left tens of thousands without power in the northwestern United States, bringing snow to the South and blizzards to the Northeast, according to the NWS.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul posted a video on social media showing snow covering the sky, causing zero visibility and dangerously high winds.
The NWS predicts that lake-effect snow (when cold air meets warm water vapor rising from a lake, it becomes hot, moist air masses and releases moisture, when the temperature is cold enough, it creates thick layers of snow, making it difficult to travel) will affect the New York suburbs, causing an additional 12 to 24 inches of snowfall.
Meanwhile, bitter winds will cover most of the United States, with temperatures potentially dropping to minus 50 degrees Celsius in Montana and the Dakotas.
Other areas of the US, from the Rockies to the Ohio Valley, could see temperatures 25-40 degrees Celsius below normal.
As temperatures plummet, Texas' power grid operator has urged residents to conserve electricity as heating demand surges to record levels.
Meanwhile, freezing rain — a phenomenon that occurs when rain falls and the temperature drops so low that the water freezes before it hits the ground — could occur in parts of the Southern Plains and Southern Appalachians. Even some areas like Florida could be affected by the bad weather.
Earlier on January 13, a severe snowstorm knocked down trees and power lines in Oregon. More than 120,000 homes and businesses, mainly in Portland, were left without power. The cold weather also killed three people in the city.
Widespread power outages also affected tens of thousands of people in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In Nebraska, authorities urged savers to sue.
The bad weather also affected airports across the United States. More than 50% of flights to and from Buffalo Niagara International Airport in New York State were canceled. Scores of flights were also delayed or canceled at Chicago, Denver and Seattle-Tacoma airports.
