US weather: Record-shattering cold reaches as far south as Florida; parts of Niagara Falls freeze over

A record-shattering arctic cold in the United States has reached as far south as Florida, with freeze warnings in place from Texas to the Atlantic Coast and the north-east of the country facing another cold wave at the end of the week, forecasters said.
The brink of the Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls turns to
icicles as the area is hit with a cold blast.
Temperatures were from 11 to 17 degrees Celsius below normal across the US east of the Rocky Mountains, with only southern Florida untouched by the arctic blast.

"That degree of cold will be with us until tomorrow," National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Hurley said.

"Tuesday morning, we're looking at temperatures with very high probability of record lows."
Along Alabama's Gulf Coast, the temperature in the city of Mobile could hit a low of -9C overnight.
