The United States affects destructive winter storm: 60 million people affected!
A devastating winter storm has been raging over large parts of the USA since Sunday and affects more than 60 million people. The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned of a "destructive winter storm" that brings arctic cold, heavy snowfall and dangerous conditions from Kansas to Maryland and Virginia. The situation is particularly dramatic in the northeastern states of New York and Pennsylvania, where up to 60 centimeters of snow are expected. In some areas, more than one meter could even fall, such as Accuweather forecast.
The storm not only ensures freezing temperatures, but also considerable disorders in travel. At the Kansas City International Airport, flight operations had to be temporarily stopped due to lightning ice. Over 3,300 flights were already late on Saturday and more than 1700 flights were painted. The road conditions are extremely dangerous, with the risk of fixed vehicles and impassable roads. The governors of several states, including Kentucky, Virginia and Missouri, have already proclaimed the emergency. In addition, the authorities fear power failures from falling branches and storm damage, while the effects of the storm are expected to persist until Monday, before the situation improves, such as reported.
