A massive arctic cold wave is heading for the midwest and east. It has
already hit the prairies with record cold and blizzard conditions with
three dead so far. A front of this strength can affect radio reception
so it might be worthwhile to tune through the bands for the next four
days.
Household tip: For some unknown reason, hot water pipes freeze
before cold water pipes.
A trickle of water will prevent pipes from freezing.
Thed Global warming debate will resume in July.

Yeah - Global Freezing has visted Twain Harte, Calif. USA

How will this front affect the ionosphere?

It doesn't. It can cause ducting, however.

bands, especially the 6m band."

Not shortwave. Nice try.
