Sub-zero wind chills, nasty precipitation spread across the U.S.

From Minnesota to Texas, another blast of frigid weather is walloping the country. Here’s what to expect:

Brutal cold

Wind chills will plunge to about minus 40 Sunday in parts of North Dakota and Minnesota as another Arctic blast barrels through, CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam said.

As the work week starts, other cities will endure the mind-numbing freeze.

Chicago’s wind chill will be 20 below zero on Monday.

While the Northeast will stay frigid the next few days, the snow and freezing rain will ease up by midday Monday.

And the massive snowfall in the Denver area could be a boon for outdoor athletes, CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera said.

“In the higher elevations, we’re going to be measuring in feet — excellent news if you are out skiing in Colorado.”
