News Wrap: Wind chill warnings stretch across Eastern U.S.

Season 2017 Episode 1279 | 3m 23s

In our news wrap Wednesday, a cold wave kept the nation’s Midwest and Northeast in a deep freeze, as arctic winds dropped temperatures to 37 degrees below zero in some places. Officials warned of the risk of frostbite with less than 30 minutes of exposure. Also, hundreds of critically ill patients are finally being evacuated from the rebel-held area of eastern Ghouta region in Syria.
