(NEWSER) – If it finally feels like winter has arrived, well, that's because it has. We are, in fact, in the "dead of winter" now, NPR reports. But at least you're not in Langdon, North Dakota, where it felt like minus-51 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday thanks to wind chill. The rest of the northern states are seeing similar wind chills, and even in places that are usually fairly warm, the next few days will feel pretty close to zero.
