you can head all the way to south florida or the southwestern u.s. those are the only areas where you re not seeing temperatures below 32. it is a huge chunk of the nation. how is this effecting travelers and is this going to last for days on end? the wind at least is brisk and brutal. always have the winter survival kit. it s layers. common sense like that. but the blowing snow problems and the heavy snow problems will continue to diminish. that s the improving side, but the cold we re still going to have it for a few more days. what s it done for travellers in the midwest? you know what it s like when traveling in this. you just cope and deal with it. it is slows people down a little bit. without school, traffic was lighter here in the twin cities.
