What is Cold Snap? A sudden, sharp drop in temperature, usually paired with significant wind.

A cold snap is a rapid, short-duration plunge into dangerous cold — often 20-40°F below normal temperatures for the location and time of year. Cold snaps are particularly dangerous because the body has not had time to acclimate. Frostbite times shrink, hypothermia risk rises, and people often dress for yesterday's weather. Common in winter in continental climates.
