Summary

Description	English: The map above provides a view of the extreme cold associated with the arctic air mass. Data for the map were derived from the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model; they represent air temperatures at 2 meters (about 6.5 feet) above the ground on February 15, 2021. The darkest blue areas are where the model indicates temperatures reaching as low as -35°C (-31°F). Areas outside of the southern and central U.S. are relatively warmer, but still cold. White colors equate to temperatures around 0°C (32°F). Note that some areas in Texas are colder than Maine and even Alaska. According to news reports, Dallas reached a low of 4°F (-16°C) on February 15—the coldest temperature the city has seen since 1989. Temperatures near 60°F are more typical this time of year. The temperature at Houston’s Intercontinental Airport early that day was 17°F (-8°C)—the coldest temperature there in 32 years.
