In the United States, heavy snowfall continues over a wide area due to record-breaking cold weather, which has had a major impact on the lives of citizens, such as the cancellation of flights one after another as Christmas approaches the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, record-breaking cold weather has brought snowstorms and heavy snow across large areas of the central and eastern United States.
Severe weather is expected to continue over the weekend leading up to Christmas, and the National Weather Service said more than half of the U.S. population lives in areas where heavy snow warnings are issued, making it a "once in a generation." I'm assuming it's a winter storm.
Among them, a video taken on the 22nd at an airport in Chicago, Illinois in the Midwest, shows a row of snowplows working on a runway that is obscured by snowstorms. I can do it.
In the United States, transportation is often used before Christmas, but CNN TV reports that 2400 flights to and from airports in the United States were canceled on the 22nd alone.
Some states have declared a state of emergency, and in eastern New York, people are being asked to refrain from moving during the period from the 23rd to the 25th, when the weather is expected to worsen further. It's having an impact.
President Biden called for caution on the 22nd, saying, ``It's not the snow that I experienced when I was a child.I want you to take this winter storm extremely seriously.''
