A blizzard has hit the United States, with some areas bracing for the heaviest snowfall in a decade. The Meteorological Department has already issued an alert. The blizzard’s fury in the U.S. On Sunday, snow, storms and falling temperatures in parts of the U.S. made the situation dangerous. Air, road as well as rail traffic has been affected by the blizzard.
Roads in Kansas, western Nebraska and large parts of Indiana were blanketed in thick snow. The National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings for Kansas and Missouri. Wind gusts up to 45 mph are possible. The warning could reach New Jersey by Monday. “This is likely to be the heaviest snowfall in a decade in the region,” the weather department said. Nearly 63 million people in the U. S. were under a blizzard warning or alert on Sunday, according to the report. The storm is expected to dump up to 8 inches of snow. The spate of accidents on the roads had led authorities to warn that road travel could be very difficult or impossible.
