Millions in eastern United States brace for monster blizzard
Get some wine in the cupboard and food for the weekend folks. It sounds like a remake of Frozen for the east coast!
The eastern US braced Friday for a monstrous blizzard that has prompted thousands of flight cancelations and the looming shutdown of Washington’s public transportation system.
The US capital and the surrounding area could see up to two feet (61 centimeters) of snow accumulate in a short time from Friday to Saturday, coupled with fierce winds and blinding squalls, weather experts said.
The federal government in Washington is closing at noon Friday because of the storm. As several states made frantic preparations, as far south as Kentucky the governor said he too was shutting down government offices on Friday.
So far more than 4,500 flights originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday within, into or out of the US have been cancelled, according to the flight monitor flightaware.com.
Tens of millions of people could be affected by snow, and millions more by ice and other dangerous conditions, the National Weather Service said.
