A heavy snow in American history

Although it has entered March, many people have begun to put away their warm clothes and prepare for the arrival of summer, but there has been abnormal weather in the United States. On Sunday, several states in the southeast were hit by a snowstorm. Georgia and Alabama were covered with heavy snow and the temperature plummeted. The storm then moved north, passing through South Carolina and North Carolina, and turned to Maryland and Maine in the northeast. Washington, D.C. entered a state of emergency, and new york had to dispatch large snow shovels. Large-scale traffic was in chaos, hundreds of flights were cancelled and a large number of passengers were stranded at the airport. Fortunately, the bad weather did not cause serious casualties.

According to the National Weather Service, parts of Tennessee have recorded 18.5 inches of snowfall since last Saturday. Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina also recorded a cumulative snowfall of 5.5 inches.

Although there were no heavy casualties, the snowstorm caused the road to be slippery and caused many traffic accidents. A series of traffic accidents occurred on I-40 highway in western Tennessee and a section of highway near Kantaki in eastern Tennessee, causing serious traffic congestion.

When the storm gradually moved away from the southeast and blew to New England in the northeast, the meteorological departments in several southern States did not lift the alarm, and the authorities appealed to the public to remain vigilant. Florida, Georgia and South Carolina all issued warnings, calling on people to be careful of tornadoes.

Affected by bad weather, several airlines canceled hundreds of flights in and out of the southeast on Sunday. Delta Air Lines warned in advance that more flights in the northeast will be affected on Monday. The company appealed to passengers to cancel or change their itinerary.
