A massive winter storm is currently sweeping across more than 30 states in the United States, affecting over 60 million Americans. This storm is anticipated to bring some of the heaviest snowfall and coldest temperatures seen in over a decade.
The root cause of this extreme weather event is a polar vortex that has descended from the Arctic to the central US. This frigid air mass is accompanied by harsh weather conditions that are wreaking havoc on the affected regions.
The impact of this winter storm is far-reaching, with thousands of flights being delayed or cancelled, numerous roads rendered impassable, and schools forced to close in response to the dangerous conditions brought on by the storm.
Battling the blizzard
States such as Kansas and Missouri are bracing for blizzards that are expected to create whiteout conditions, further exacerbating the challenges faced by residents in these areas.
Consequently, a state of emergency has been declared in these states to ensure the safety and well-being of the population.
In addition to Kansas and Missouri, states like Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas, and parts of New Jersey have also declared a state of emergency in anticipation of the severe weather conditions.
This proactive measure aims to mitigate the potential risks and ensure a coordinated response to the crisis.
Fortunately, there is some relief in sight, as the weather is projected to gradually improve starting on Monday.
