The northern United States was blasted with a mass of arctic air sweeping south from Canada over the weekend as residents in the Pacific Northwest continue recovering from catastrophic floods that began hitting portions of Washington state on Thursday.
Thousands were forced to evacuate as floodwaters engorged the Snoqualmie River on Dec. 11, and one family’s rescue was captured on video after deputies from the King County Sheriff’s Office marine rescue dive unit freed them and their dog from a half-mile field that had been turned into a lake.
