It Was Literally Freezing In All 50 States On Tuesday

Ice, ice, baby.

The temperature in every U.S. state hit 32 degrees or lower on Tuesday.

Mauna Kea, Hawaii is now below freezing. Just waiting on Rhode Island. http://t.co/gNj1ZmhzVr MT @NWSTwinCities:

The report came from meteorologist Eric Holthaus, who writes for Slate, and the National Weather Service.

@EricHolthaus Thanks for the report! Chepachet, RI had an observation of 32 this morning, so all 50 states at least hit freezing.

It was the coldest November morning since 1976, according to the Washington Post.

Stunning image puts Lower 48 cold in global context. N Hemisphere temp is 1.3F ABOVE average: http://t.co/2PQvxrdbdD

The Great Lakes region was particularly hard-hit by cold weather. Snowfall in Buffalo, New York, threatened to break records, and the National Guard was called in.
