Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continental polar air masses are cold and dry, so they often bring freezing temperatures. When they move over a high pressure area in the winter, the air can become even colder and drier, making it likely to have colder than average temperatures. This could lead to snow or ice storms, but not necessarily a blizzard.
