Winter blizzard sweeps across the East Coast of the United States! 7 people died and more than 2,000 flights were canceled. On Sunday, the cold air system that hit Dallas reached the East Coast. The winter storm, which brought blizzards, freezing rain and other severe weather all the way from the Midwest, arrived on the East Coast of the United States on the 8th, causing trouble across a vast area of ​​the United States from Texas to New England. New York City also began to snow heavily on the afternoon of the 8th. Forecasts show the force of this winter storm will continue into Tuesday. Snowfall on the 9th will be mainly concentrated in central New York State and New England, while freezing rain will hit central Pennsylvania. The winter storm brought 3 to 6 inches of snow to West Virginia on Sunday. Three people have died in the area near Dallas in northern Texas, and 35,000 homes and workplaces were still without power until Sunday afternoon. As of around 6 p.m. on the 8th, 2,238 flights across the United States had been canceled and more than 5,300 were delayed. Among them, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was the most severely affected, with a total of about 1,500 flights canceled or delayed. In addition, hundreds of flights were also affected at the airports in Philadelphia and Washington. The multiple effects of snowfall, freezing rain and low temperatures have made the road surface very slippery, posing great risks to motorists. Road crews in Ohio, Virginia and other states had to work non-stop to clean up. The cold air in the Midwest may not end so soon. On Saturday, the temperature at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport was only 26 degrees Celsius, the lowest temperature for the same period in 23 years of history. At least 7 people have died in this snowstorm. Traffic across the country has also been paralyzed due to the bad weather, causing great inconvenience for people's holiday travel.
