Extreme weather in the US: After a short period of pleasant spring temperatures, winter hits the United States in full force. Tornadoes and flash floods are also possible.
More than 35 million people in the United States are currently under winter storm warnings, and thousands could lose power. The Northeast and New England are expecting a megastorm that will blanket the region with heavy snow.
Major cities such as New York and Boston are also affected, FOX Weather reports. For the ‘Big Apple’ it is the strongest winter storm warning in more than two years.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, the storm will start as rain for most people and then quickly turn to snow as colder air from Canada mixes in.
Schools are closed as a precaution
As a precaution, the mayor of New York closed all public schools and switched to distance learning. Boston’s mayor declared a snow emergency for the city and also announced the closure of schools.
The governor of Massachusetts called for travel to be avoided. At a press conference, she warned to “stay home during the storm if possible.” Extreme caution must be exercised on the streets, the politician said.
Annoying cleaning work
Plows would have to contend with the heavy, wet snow, experts told NBC Boston.
In the coastal town of Scituate, Massachusetts, people are convinced that predicted wind speeds will bring down power lines. Preparing for the extreme weather events is an effort, but residents are relatively relaxed: “Yes, there are a few storms five days a year, but you prepare for them and go on with your life,” NBC Boston quoted one . affected person.
