Arctic Blast Brings Frigid Thanksgiving

The United States is bracing for a significant Arctic cold blast expected to sweep across the country during Thanksgiving week. This weather event, potentially linked to a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) phenomenon, could disrupt the polar vortex, resulting in frigid conditions and snow. Vermont and other states might experience snowy and chilly weather as maps indicate increased snow risk during the holiday period. The unusual SSW event later this month may further intensify cold outbreaks, leading to a particularly cold December across the U.S. as the Arctic air descends southward, impacting holiday travel and activities.
