Some parts of the country were already facing the Arctic cold front. Therefore, some snowfall that could disrupt road conditions was already being predicted. Forecasters have pointed out that the weather could quickly become what is known as a "bomb cyclone" which is, in fact, freezing.
Meteorologist Michael Charnick of the National Weather Service (NWS) shared a video via Twitter in which drivers on the road braved the bad weather. In Wyoming and Colorado, temperatures reached 40°C below zero.
In a warning message on Twitter, the NWS pointed out that it had already reported on the bursts of snow that were already being seen in some specific points of the country.
