The CELESTIAL Convergence | http://thecelestialconvergence.blogspot.com/ January 04, 2014 - UNITED STATES - Get ready for bone-chilling cold you probably haven't endured in years. A deep freeze is spreading across much of the United States this weekend, making the nor'easter that just blanketed about 20 states with snow look like a mere curtain raiser. Nearly half the nation -- 140 million people -- will shiver in temperatures of zero or lower by Wednesday. The arctic blast threatens to sweep subzero lows as far south as Alabama and plunge much of the Deep South into the single digits. Winter weather in the past week has claimed at least 13 lives, CNN has confirmed. Eleven people died in road accidents -- including one man crushed as he was moving street salt with a forklift. A man in Wisconsin died of hypothermia. And in Byron, New York, a 71-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease wandered away from her home Thursday night and was later found dead in the snow in a wooded area about 100 yards away. The blast burst onto the stage in the northern Plains States early Saturday, hurling North Dakota into below-zero territory, as the National Weather Service predicted a day-long blizzard for the state. Parts of Montana and Minnesota were feeling the same pain, the NWS said. If there was ever a winter-toughened state, it's Minnesota -- but with this frosty bite on its way, schools in the state are keeping their doors shut on Monday. "I have made this decision to protect all our children from the dangerously cold temperatures," Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton said. People in the town of town of Embarrass, Minnesota, say they may break their cold temperature record of 64 below, set in 1996. "I've got a thermometer from the weather service that goes to 100 below," resident Richard Fowlei told CNN affiliate KQDS. "If it gets that cold I don't want to be here." Saturday's temperatures will look relatively pleasant by the time we get to Sunday, as the thermometer falls to near 30 below zero in parts of North Dakota. And the wind will drive chills down to minus 50, the weather service said. In Chicago, the temperature was 16 degrees Saturday and was expected to plummet to 11 below zero on Sunday and 12 below Monday. Chicago native Leo Londono, 30, said this is the harshest winter he's experienced in the city. From his apartment he can see large chunks of ice floating on Lake Michigan. "It's so cold you don't want to step outside," he said. "There's wind chill. And then this huge Arctic air blast is supposed to come through and I don't want to even leave my home." The low temperatures and wind chill are a recipe for rapid frostbite or hypothermia.
