Life in the United States has been disrupted by snowfall. Heavy snowfall, blizzards, ice, and rain have affected life in 30 of the 50 states.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has stated that 180 million people will be affected by continuous snow, storms and rain in 30 states of the US for three days starting Friday. ‘Heavy snowstorms in the northern region and snow and rain in the southern region will cause freezing temperatures and make driving and walking extremely difficult, which will affect people’s lives,’ the NWS said in a statement, ‘About 180 million residents are requested to avoid adverse weather and stay safe in time.’
The NWS estimates that 8 to 12 inches of snow and blizzards may affect the states of New York, Washington DC, Boston, and Maryland for three consecutive days. Snowfall is expected from St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Charleston, West Virginia, and mixed rain and snow are expected in Texas, Louisiana, Memphis, Tennessee, and North Carolina by Saturday afternoon local time.
Seventeen states have declared states of emergency in anticipation of the adverse weather affecting public life, while the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has canceled flights for three days. Along with the capital, Washington DC, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia have declared states of emergency.
