Extreme cold, ice and heavy snowfall.

A winter storm wreaks havoc and fatalities across the United States.

A video on social media shows what minus 40 degrees means.

Helena/USA – Just before Christmas, extreme weather paralyzes parts of the USA.

Millions of people are without electricity when it's freezing cold.

Roads are completely icy and thousands of flights are cancelled.

There are deaths in traffic accidents on mirror-smooth roads and from freezing.

An arctic storm depression – also known as a “bomb cyclone” – causes heavy snowfall, icy winds and extreme cold.

The US weather service warns of so-called whiteout conditions, i.e. severely restricted visibility and orientation through the snow.

Traveling under these conditions is "extremely dangerous and at times impossible".

The Arctic cold front will move from the border with Canada in the north to the border with Mexico in the south on Saturday.
