More than 60 million Americans are bracing for dangerous cold Wednesday through the weekend.

Temperatures are expected to plunge as much as 50 degrees below February averages, smashing more than 270 records across at least 27 states.

Cold will be most severe in central states such as Montana , North and South Dakota , Minnesota , Wisconsin , Nebraska , Kansas , Colorado and Iowa .

In eastern states, temperatures will drop as low as -10F with wind chills down to -40F as a winter storm hits Wednesday .

Virginia , Maryland and North Carolina will face the brunt of its impact, with some regions seeing over two feet of snow.

But aside from the cold, meteorologists expect less severe winter weather for the second half of February . This week 's storm should be the grand-finale in a series of storms that have pummeled the nation since the start of the month , with many states barely able to recover between onslaughts of heavy winter precipitation..
