Police in the Tver region said field kitchens were operating on the road, but many drivers complained supplies never reached them and they were running out of gasoline to keep their engines running and heating on in subzero temperatures.

Fairbanks, AK has been averaging nearly 30 degrees below normal. Also turning much colder over most of the US during the next week or so.
