Power outages, canceled flights, closed schools... in the northeastern United States, the snowstorm continues to affect the daily lives of residents
A severe snowstorm has left parts of the northeastern United States with over 60 cm of snow, causing widespread power outages and the closure of schools.
The northeastern United States is grappling with the aftermath of an exceptional snowstorm that has impacted daily life, as it dumped over 60 cm of snow across the region from Sunday night to Monday night. By Tuesday, over 300,000 households remained without electricity, and numerous schools were closed as residents dealt with the heavy snowfall and its consequences. Meteorologists have warned that lighter flurries are expected again on Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Coastal areas south of Boston, particularly in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, experienced even more severe conditions, with local reports indicating snow accumulations of more than 90 cm in some places. The situation has been exacerbated by power outages, which have left communities struggling to restore electricity and handle the challenges posed by the hazardous weather. The snowstorm has also disrupted transportation, leading to numerous flight cancellations and travel delays.
As residents in this New England region navigate the effects of the snowstorm, local authorities are focusing on restoring power and ensuring safety on roads. Emergency services are being stretched as they respond to various incidents caused by the storm, highlighting the significant impact such extreme weather events have on daily life. The implications of this storm may also raise concerns about climate change and its connection to the increasing frequency of severe weather patterns in the region.
