"180 Million Americans Brace for Winter's Return as Cold Air Sweeps Across the US"

Over 180 million Americans are expected to experience below-average temperatures as cold air from Canada brings late-season winter weather to more than half of the US, with Freeze Watches and Warnings in the Southeast and heavy snow affecting the Great Lakes and Northeast. The cold front will push south, bringing very cold temperatures to the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast, potentially causing damage to sensitive plants. Warmer air will gradually return as spring officially begins, but over 150 million people will still feel the chill on Tuesday, and nearly 90 million will remain below average on Wednesday.
