The United States experienced travel mayhem on Thursday due to a "once-in-a-generation" winter storm that brought about temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

A massive cold front that came down from the Arctic and grabbed chilling hold of the middle of the country disrupted Christmas preparations during one of the busiest times of the year with heavy snow and howling winds.

100 million people were expected to use the roads but already blinding whiteouts and dangerous driving conditions were on the rise, as per the American Automobile Association.

Weather forecasters warned that it was so cold in some areas that going outside might result in frostbite within minutes for tens of millions of people.

"This is not like a snow day when you were a kid," President Joe Biden told reporters. "This is serious stuff."

Holiday travel traffic is anticipated to be close to pre-pandemic levels, with Thursday, three days before Christmas, being the busiest day.

The storm could quickly intensify into a "bomb cyclone", according to AccuWeather analysts, through a process known as "bombogenesis", which occurs when the barometric pressure lowers and a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass.
