美国东部和南部数千所学校因严寒天气而停课关门,之前美国中西部变得天寒地冻,冷空气星期二向东部和南部移动。
星期二,波士顿、纽约、费城和华盛顿等东部主要城市预计将迎来低于摄氏零下10度的低温,加上寒风效应,天气格外寒冷。
甚至连平时气候温暖的佛罗里达州和南部的得克萨斯州,预计气温都将低于正常值大约20度。
很多城市已经决定星期二关闭学校。暴露在如此寒冷的气温下,几分钟内就会被冻伤。
Thousands of schools across the eastern and southern United States were closed Tuesday as a bitter cold front moved into the area after freezing the midwestern section of the country.
Forecasters say temperatures will plunge well below minus 10 degrees Celsius in Washington, D.C., New York, Philadelphia and Boston, while the wind chill, which is the temperature feels like during a strong wind, will be far lower.
The frigid weather is also reaching into the so-called Deep South, including Florida and southern Texas, which usually enjoy moderate temperatures during the cold weather season.
Authorities have decided to close schools to keep children safe from exposure to the extreme cold, which could lead to frostbite within minutes if skin is left exposed.
