Sub-zero winds grip central, eastern US
Schools in Chicago, Boston and other large cities closed on Thursday as sub-zero temperatures and bitter winds gripped the central and eastern United States for a third day and meteorologists warned there was little relief in sight.
An Arctic air blast from Canada hit the US Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with many parts around minus 10 Fahrenheit (minus 23 Celsius), the National Weather Service said.
In northern New York state's Adirondack Park, the village of Saranac Lake dropped to minus 24F overnight.
