Arctic Blast

Arctic Blast refers to a phenomenon characterized by extremely cold air masses that move from the Arctic region toward lower latitudes. This term is often used to describe sudden and intense cold weather events that can lead to significant drops in temperature, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions in areas not typically subject to such severe winter weather. The term conjures images of frigid temperatures and harsh conditions that can impact daily life, transportation, and safety. Arctic blasts are typically associated with shifts in atmospheric pressure and can result in widespread effects, including frostbite and disruptions in utilities and infrastructure.
