A deadly arctic deep freeze enveloped the Midwest with record-breaking low temperatures on Wednesday, prompting the US Postal Service to take the rare step of suspending mail delivery to a large portion of the region. Nine states were affected by the service disruption, including parts or all of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and Michigan. USPS's announcement of the closures is shown at left. Officials across government agencies are warning people to treat the extreme cold as the life-threatening public health risk that it is. A wind chill of negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 32 degrees Celsius) can freeze skin within 15 minutes. Postal worker Keith Caniff is pictured at right sorting mail while on his route in East Grand Rapids, Michigan on Monday, which is an area that has suspended service for Wednesday.
