Blizzard conditions across the various states of the US, Dakotas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have enforced many schools and industries to close. Wind breezes are potentially reaching at approx. 50mph (80kph). This Winter Storm in US is expected to bring lots of disruptions. The situation may get even worse with wind chill as low as -50F (-45C) in some parts as per the prediction.
Around 75 million people in 29 states are under winter weather alerts due to the expected Winter Storm in US. Some of the parts of the eastern US are predicted to experience record-low temperatures.
In some parts of the northern US, it has been forecasted that around two feet (0.6m) of snow could block areas and may suffer their biggest snowfalls for 30 years.
Minnesota’s governor Tim Walz states that the National Guard will be accessible to support motorists who become trapped in the blizzard conditions there.
Furthermore, the Utah Department of Transport issued a warning to morning commuters: “This is a reminder to stay home and limit travel if possible.”
